UFC Vegas 108 Clash Between Tatsuro Taira and Park Hyun-sung: Betting Odds, Timing, and Forecast
Park Hyun-sung, an undefeated fighter with a record of 10-0, steps into the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, August 2, 2025, to face Tatsuro Taira in the main event of UFC Vegas 108. Taira, who has a record of 16-1, is the clear favourite for the fight, according to most analysts and betting odds.
Taira, who originally was scheduled to fight Amir Albazi, has impressive statistics. He has won 11 of his fights by finish, with 5 victories by submission and 4 by knockout/technical knockout. His last fight against Brandon Royval saw him land a career-high six takedowns.
In contrast, Park Hyun-sung has never had a fight last more than 15 minutes, and his biggest win was against Carlos Hernandez, achieved by a rear-naked choke. Despite being a strong striker, there are concerns about his stamina, especially for a five-round fight.
Taira's odds for the fight remain at -400, reflecting greater confidence in his chances. This is despite Park's undefeated record. Taira's improved striking, dynamic wrestling, and five-round fight experience give him an edge, especially if the fight goes into later rounds.
Taira's grappling skills are expected to be superior to Park's, which could be crucial in a five-round fight. Taira's better preparation for the fight is also predicted to be an advantage.
The event starts at 10:00 p.m. ET and can be watched on ESPN. Despite Park's promising potential, most analysts expect Tatsuro Taira to bounce back from his only career loss and secure a victory, likely by unanimous decision.
