Park (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) stepped up on just a few days' notice after Taira's original opponent, Amir Albazi, withdrew due to injury. The opponent switch was no problem, as Taira ended the fight 1:06 into Round 2 by submission.

Tonight, the UFC returns to the APEX and we will see a flyweight showcase in the main event. Sixth ranked Tatsuro Taira (16-1) returns to the octagon as he takes on Hyun Sung Park (10-0) who will look to remain undefeated and jump straight into the top ten at 125 pounds.
