For the first time in 10 months, UFC flyweight prospect Tatsuro Taira returns to the octagon this Saturday, but he won’t be competing against Amir Albazi. After Albazi had to exit due to not getting medically cleared, Taira now faces Hyun Sung Park in the main event of UFC Vegas 108. Can Taira return to form against a tough short notice replacement opponent?
Ahead of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night event, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee preview the promotion’s return to the APEX, the flyweight
headliner between Taira and Park, and what potentially comes next for the winner. Additionally, they discuss the big weight misses for Tresean Gore and Rafael Estevam, the wild lightweight co-main event between Mateusz Rebecki and Chris Duncan, Neil Magny trying to avoid the first three-fight losing streak of his career, other standout fights on the card, and much more.
