Tatsuro Taira handed Hyun Sung Park its first defeat with a second round Choke in the main event of another APEX event in UFC Vegas 108.
The event would be viewed by Taira against number four Amir Albazi, but a health problem cost the last one. Park stepped up with only days and made the chance to land a place deep in the ranking.
As with most events in the facility of the UFC, the atmosphere everywhere was flat everywhere despite a series of impressive finishes and exciting moments. And there was a crowd littered with stars, including people like Paddy Pimblett.

Taira had complete control over the positions during the rest of the first, took the back and pushed on an entry. Park eventually took the risk of his back to hit his rival to the deck, although it didn't do much to stop the progress of the position.
By the time they made the round two, Park will have been very happy for the break. That relief did not last long, because Taira took him down and landed the rear naked choke in a minute after the start of the round.
UFC Vegas 108 Main Event has changed to a notification of days
As recently as last weekend, the main event of UFC Vegas 108 was supposed to be Taira against number four Amir Albazi. The competition had probably seen serious implications of the world title how dominant Alexandre Pantoja has been as a champion, but it was cut off because of a medical care.
Albazi wanted to fight despite the orders of doctors, but according to an Instagram post of the man of the hour, he was forced to withdraw. “I finished my whole camp and did everything in my power to be ready, but unfortunately I was not deleted on time,” wrote Albazi.
“The UFC and the committee have called the interests of my health and safety. I respect that decision – even if my heart was ready to get into that cage and treat things. This is not the end. Just a small setback. I will be stronger again.
“Thanks from the ground of my heart to my fans, my team and everyone who stands with me because of the highlights and lows. The prince will return soon.”
