UFC Vegas 108 Fight Card Main Event: Betting Odds, Line Movement And Predictions - Tatsuro Taira Vs. Hyun Sung Park
Tatsuro Taira (16-1) rose through the UFC flyweight ranks fairly quickly. He joined the UFC in May 2022 with a record of 10-0, and after winning the Shooto flyweight title.
Taira opened his UFC career with a unanimous decision win over Carlos Candelario in May 2022. He followed that with back-to-back submission wins in contests where he earned 'Performance of the Night' bonuses, defeating C.J. Vergara and Jesús Santos Aguilar.
Wins over Edgar Chairez and Carlos Hernandez in 2023 followed.
In June, Taira got the first true test of his UFC career when he faced Alex Perez in a main event on a UFC Fight Night card at the Apex. At the time, Taira was the No. 13 ranked fighter in the UFC's flyweight division, and Perez, who had fought Deiveson Figueiredo for the UFC 125-pound title in 2020, was ranked No. 5.
The fight ended when Taira took the back of his opponent in the center of the Octagon and forced him to the mat, putting enormous pressure on Perez's knee and causing an injury that brought the fight to a halt in the second stanza. From all appearances, and judging from his comments after the victory, the move that finished the contest was a designed technique.
That win put Taira at No. 5 in the UFC rankings, earning him a shot at former UFC flyweight title challenger Brandon Royval, who entered the October 2024 contest as the No. 1 ranked in the UFC's 125-pound division.
Royval and Taira put on a 'Fight of the Night' bonus-winning scrap, but the more experienced Royval took home the split-decision win, handing Taira the first loss of his professional career.
The 25-year-old Taira is currently the No. 6 ranked UFC flyweight.
Hyun Sung Park (10-0) won Road to UFC in early 2023 with a knockout of Seung Guk Choi. He followed that with a knockout of Shannon Ross in late 2023. Park did not compete in 2024 having had fights against Andre Lima and Nyamjargal Tumendemberel cancelled. He returned to the Octagon in March, scoring a first-round submission win over Carlos Hernandez at UFC Vegas 106.
I wrote of the 29-year-old at the time, 'HyunSung Park looked excellent at UFC Vegas 106, moving to 3-0 in the UFC's flyweight division. Park used effective striking to hurt Carlos Hernandez against the fence. That striking made Hernandez move to the clinch, but Park showed his overall MMA ability in scoring a takedown, which led to a back take and a rear naked choke sub at 2:26 of Round 1. The 29-year-old Park looks ready for a test in his next outing as he has picked up three finishes in three UFC outings.'
He gets that test in a big way and on short notice on Saturday night.
Park has only gone the distance once in his MMA career.
When the betting odds opened for this matchup, Taira was a -350 betting favorite over Park, who came in as the +275 betting underdog.
Bettors are taking the underdog in the hopes of an upset. Park has earned 74 percent of the bets, while picking up 75 percent of the handle.
The good news heading into this fight is that Park is not coming into UFC Vegas 108 fully unprepared. He was booked opposite Steve Erceg for next week's UFC Vegas 109 card, so he will at least face Taira with most of a fight camp behind him. However, that fight was scheduled for three rounds, while this contest is a five-round affair.
Taira is a good striker, he is better on the mat. However, he is aware how fights are scored, so he'll engage in striking before moving to his grappling. Park, on the other hand looks to grapple first.
Taira is the more well-rounded fighter in this contest and that will allow him to carry the day. The pick is for Taira to win via stoppage. I see him scoring a knockdown against Park, but I'm unsure if the finish will be more strikes or if Taira follows things to the ground to get the sub. Considering Taira's grappling skills, go with the submission.

UFC Vegas 108 Fight Card: Betting Odds, Line Movement And Predictions - Elves Brener Vs. Esteban Ribovics

While Magny is the betting underdog, the bettors are invested in him with 74 percent of the bets and 75 percent of the handle on Magny.

Jaxson Dart is QB3 on Giants' first depth chart
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has work to go to become the starter. Supposedly. The 25th pick in the 2025 draft lands at third on the team's initial depth chart of 2025, behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. Rounding out the quarterback room is Tommy DeVito, at fourth string. Per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, the actual practices have had Dart taking reps after Wilson and before Winston. The move could be an effort to show that Dart will earn his spot by overcoming obstacles, eventually moving past Winston before leapfrogging Wilson. Alternatively (or perhaps additionally), the positioning could be aimed at showcasing Winston, who could be the odd man out when it's time to trim the depth chart from four to three. Before releasing Winston, it would make sense to try to trade him. DeVito is destined to be cut and, if he clears waivers, to sign with the practice squad. The bigger question is whether the Giants keep Winston on the 53-man roster, to go along with Wilson and Dart. The biggest question is when will Dart play? In 2004, Kurt Warner was benched despite a 5-4 record because the Giants were ready to flip the switch to Eli Manning.

Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs expected to miss rest of training camp with knee injury: Report
Green Bay Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs is expected to miss the rest of training camp after undergoing surgery to repair a meniscus tear, ESPN reported Tuesday. He could return in time for the Packers' regular-season opener against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 7, per ESPN. "I'm not going to put a timetable on it," head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday of Hobbs' knee injury. "But unfortunately he had to have something cleaned up. We're hoping to get him back here sooner than later." Hobbs, 26, was one of the Packers' biggest free agent acquisitions this offseason. They signed him to a four-year, $48 million deal in March. He spent his first four seasons in the league with the Las Vegas Raiders, who took him in the fifth round of the 2021 draft. Hobbs has played at least 550 defensive snaps in each of his four NFL seasons, according to Pro Football Focus. He's mostly played inside corner, with 304 of his 554 defensive snaps last season taking place in the slot, per PFF. But the Packers see him as a starting outside corner opposite of Keisean Nixon. In Hobbs' absence, third-year defensive back Carrington Valentine and veteran Corey Ballentine — who played in 37 games for the Packers between 2022-24 — are options for Green Bay at the position. The team re-signed Ballentine on Monday. This isn't the first time Hobbs has been sidelined during his NFL career. He's been out for a combined 16 games over the past three seasons because of ankle and hand injuries and illness. Unfortunately for the Packers, they're used to injuries foiling their plans at cornerback. Back in June, Green Bay moved on from Jaire Alexander after seven seasons. Although Alexander earned second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl nods in 2020 and 2022, he's struggled to stay on the field. In each of the past two seasons, Alexander has played in just seven games. He wound up reuniting with his Louisville teammate, quarterback Lamar Jackson, in Baltimore. There's still a chance Hobbs plays a full slate of games for the Packers this season. But before his first game action in Green Bay, he's already recovering from a procedure.

Seattle Storm acquire All-Star guard Brittney Sykes in trade with Washington Mystics
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Storm acquired All-Star guard Brittney Sykes from the Washington Mystics on Tuesday for Alysha Clark, Zia Cooke and a first-round pick in the 2026 draft. Sykes averaged 15.4 points, 4.3 assists and 1.2 steals for the Mystics this season to earn her first All-Star selection. She'll join a strong lineup that features Skylar Diggins, Nneka Ogwumike, Gabby Williams and Ezi Magbegor. Seattle (16-13) is currently in sixth place in the standings. Clark has played more than 300 games for the Storm in two stints with the team and helped the franchise win two WNBA championships in 2018 and 2020. This season she's averaging just 3.5 points and 2.4 rebounds. Clark has been impactful off the court over the years in the city starting the organization's annual toy drive benefiting Seattle Children's Hospital. Cooke averaged just over 10 minutes a game this season and has shot a career-best 38.2% from behind the 3-point arc. She was the No. 10 pick in the 2023 draft by Los Angeles. She spent two seasons there before coming to Seattle. Washington (13-15) is a game out of the playoffs at the moment. The league's trade deadline is Thursday. ___ AP WNBA:
