UFC Fight Night will be headlined by Tatsuro Taira vs. Hyunsung Park on Saturday night. Taira, the No. 6-ranked fighter in the UFC’s flyweight division, was originally supposed to fight Amir Albazi, but the 31-year-old Iraqi fighter wasn’t medically cleared to compete. So Park took the fight on short notice and the undefeated fighter is coming off of three consecutive stoppage wins in the UFC.
The 12-fight UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park fight card on Saturday will begin with prelims at 6 p.m. ET, with the main card starting at 9 p.m. ET. The fights will be contested at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and this is UFC Las Vegas 108.

Taira vs. Park preview
Taira is 16-1 in his MMA career but this will be his first fight since suffering the first defeat of his career against Brandon Royval in a five-round split decision last October. Meanwhile, Park is a perfect 10-0 in his career and most recently won via first-round submission against Carlos Hernandez in May after an 18-month layoff.
The late-notice fight is a potentially huge launching pad for Park, who will be facing his first ranked opponent since joining the UFC. Meanwhile, Taira could be on the verge of earning his first title shot with a victory. Both fighters are skilled grapplers and superiority on the mat could very well determine the winner of this bout.
Park is probably the superior striker but Taira has improved incredibly in that department during his career and he’s a dynamic wrestler. A five-round war against Royval also proved that he has the stamina to go deep and he’ll be taking Park into untested waters if he can take it beyond three rounds.

UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park predictions
We’ll reveal one of Vithlani’s UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park selections here: Chris Duncan (+170) to defeat Mateusz Rebecki (-205) in a lightweight matchup on the main card.
“Rebecki is fiery striker, and a physical grappler who likes to push a torrid pace. Rebecki is 4-1 in his UFC career, and has overwhelmed his opponents with his heavy pressure style. However, I don’t think Duncan is a fighter that style will work against. Duncan is a strong wrestler training out of American Top Team gym, and has continued to refine his MMA skills,” Vithlani told SportsLine. See who else to back here.
