Tatsuro Taira has returned to victory, but what is his present position amongst the competitors at 125 pounds?
The highly touted 25-year-old rebounded with a convincing victory over Hyun Sung Park at the UFC Vegas 108 main event, needing just over a minute to secure a submission against his late-replacement opponent. Following the fight, Taira mentioned potential bouts with flyweight titleholder Alexandre Pantoja and former two-time champion Brandon Moreno. Regardless, Taira’s prospects appear promising.
In a fresh episode of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee deliberate on the optimal path forward for Taira after his recovery from his initial defeat. Furthermore, prospective matchups are examined for Chris Duncan and Esteban Ribovics after their exciting wins and Fight of the Night accolades, along with fellow main card victors Karol Rosa, Neil Magny, Kevin Vallejos, and others.
That, plus a further curated collection of listener suggestions.
