UFC Vegas 108 Preview: Tatsuro Taira and Hyun Sung Park Square Off in Flyweight Matchup
The UFC Apex in Las Vegas will play host to an exciting flyweight matchup as Tatsuro Taira and Hyun Sung Park face off in the main event of UFC Vegas 108.
Tatsuro Taira (16-1) has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the UFC's flyweight division. The 25-year-old Japanese fighter joined the UFC in May 2022 and has since impressed with his technical versatility and strong grappling foundation. Taira is known for his precise striking from control positions, which he demonstrated in his well-regarded performance against top contender Brandon Royval in October 2024.
Hyun Sung Park (11-0), on the other hand, is a dynamic striker with a higher finishing rate (90%). Park has excellent takedown defense, having avoided 100% of attempts in the UFC. He won Road to UFC in early 2023 with a knockout, but he lacks experience in longer fights, which could put him at a disadvantage in this five-round bout.
Experts predict that Taira will prevail due to his greater experience, slight reach advantage, and more well-rounded skill set. Despite Park's undefeated record and higher finishing rate, Taira's more refined control striking and grappling give him an edge in this matchup.
The odds reflect this analysis, with Taira being the favorite at around -355 to -360 while Park is the underdog at approximately +280 to +285. The fight is also expected to go beyond 3.5 rounds.
The entire UFC Vegas 108 fight card airs on ESPN and ESPN+. Other notable fights on the card include Mateusz Rebecki (-210 favorite) against Chris Duncan in the co-main event, a lightweight matchup, and Danny Silva (+340 underdog) against Kevin Vallejos, who opened as one of the biggest favorites on the card at -425.
Tatsuro Taira's last fight was against Brandon Royval in October 2024, which he lost by split decision. He earned "Performance of the Night" bonuses in two of his UFC fights and is currently a top-10 ranked UFC flyweight. His UFC debut was a unanimous decision victory against Carlos Candelario.
Hyun Sung Park's last fight was against Carlos Hernandez at UFC Vegas 106, where he won with a first-round submission.
As bettors look for an upset in the fight between Danny Silva and Kevin Vallejos, the main event of UFC Vegas 108 sees Tatsuro Taira as the predicted favorite over Hyun Sung Park. Will Taira continue his impressive run in the UFC or will Park's explosive striking and unbeaten momentum prove too much? Tune in to find out!
