Game Overview
This Flyweight UFC main event pits Tatsuro Taira, a highly skilled 25-year-old with a 16-1 record, against the undefeated 29-year-old Hyun Sung Park from South Korea, who is stepping in on short notice.

- No previous head-to-head encounters. This will be their first matchup.
- No reported injuries for either fighter; Park is stepping in on short notice but appears healthy.
