Flash in the pan? Not a chance.
The pressure was on 19-year-old Dubliner Dylan Tuke after stealing the show on his professional debut five months ago.
Tuke, fighting out of SBG, continued that very charming habit with his showing on Saturday night when BAMMA returned to the Irish capital.
Again, Tuke bounced his way to the cage as though there was nothing on his mind.
But once the cage door closed behind him, there was one very clear thing on his mind and that was the finish of opponent Mark Andrew.
And ‘The Nuke’ wasted no time whatsoever in showcasing his snakelike striking skills.
As his combinations began flowing beautifully together, Tuke landed the hammer blow by slamming his right knee, courtesy of striking coach Owen Roddy, into Andrew’s abdomen.

Andrew couldn’t hold a poker face and Tuke swarmed with a barrage of punches that forced the referee to jump in and call the fight.
This guy is destined for greatness.
