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.
UFC Vegas 108 comes on the heels of UFC Abu Dhabi, where Reinier de Ridder defeated Robert Whittaker in the middleweight main event.

Kevin Vallejos checked the box for his UFC on ESPN 71 pre-fight goal
LAS VEGAS – Kevin Vallejos met the media Saturday after his unanimous decision win over Danny Silva at UFC on ESPN 71. Vallejos (16-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) outworked Silva (10-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) to open the main card at the UFC Apex. His scores included a pair of 30-27s from the judges, though it was the first time he had to go the distance for a win since late 2022. Still, Vallejos had a pre-fight goal to put on an exciting fight, and he thinks he did that. 'I love to hit people and I love to get hit, so for me, it's fun to do that. But at the end of the day, I know what I have to do. I know I have to stay focused,' Vallejos told MMA Junkie at his post-fight news conference. 'I felt like this was doing to be a really fun fight, which is what I was trying to do. I was trying to be exciting, and I think I accomplished that.' Check out Vallejos' post-fight news conference in the video above.

Anthony Hernandez not stressing over UFC title shot: 'It will all work out soon'
Anthony Hernandez hasn't lost a fight in half a decade, but he's yet to fight for a UFC championship. Hernandez (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) is on quite the streak, picking up seven consecutive wins at 185 pounds with three Performance of the Night bonuses. "Fluffy" returns this Saturday as he headlines UFC on ESPN 72 (ESPN, ESPN+) against fellow contender Roman Dolidze (15-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC). Many wonder how many more wins Hernandez will need to earn his shot at the title, but Hernandez is not sweating it. "I've been getting tagged in stuff like, 'You're the dark horse,'" Hernandez told MMA Junkie on Monday. "A lot of people have been pissed that I'm at the Apex like, 'No, f*ck that. I wanted to go see him,' which is a f*cking blessing because now the fans are starting to get behind me. The true people that know martial arts, they know that I know my sh*t, so whatever, it will all work out soon." Should he get past Dolidze, Hernandez believes a title shot could come at any moment. "I'm ready for whatever," Hernandez said. "This game is crazy, and you never know what to expect in this f*cking world. Someone can get hurt, and you can get called tomorrow. F*ck, who knows?" Hernandez expects an exciting fight this Saturday. He believes Dolidze is the right dance partner to put on a show. "I watched his tape, and I've watched him fight a few times, too," Hernandez said. "Like I said, he's a big f*cking brute, he moves forward, and he throws everything to knock you out. I think it's going to make for a great f*cking fight."
