UFC Vegas 108 Results – Winners

Andrey Pulayev: Andrey Pulayev’s striking and cardio helped him overcome a rough start to his middleweight matchup against Nick Klein.

Klein was aggressive early in the fight, but his focus on grappling and struggles on the feet at distance gave Pulayev and his team a clear blueprint of what they needed to focus on in Round 2, and that was striking. It helped that Klein was also looking tired after his fast start.

A body kick sapped all of the energy from Klein and led to the finish.

Austin Bashi: The 23-year-old Austin Bashi was coming off his first career loss heading into UFC Vegas 108, dropping a decision to Christian Rodriguez in January after earning a contract via Dana White’s Contender Series. Bashi, the biggest favorite on Saturday’s card at -900, rolled over John Yannis, securing a first-round submission.

Bashi looked good, but the quality of competition in this matchup didn’t reveal much about his upside.

Rafael Estevam: Rafael Estevam was a massive -850 favorite over Felipe Bunes entering their 130-pound catchweight bout. Estevam was the one who missed weight for what the UFC had initially booked as a flyweight affair.

Estevam cruised to the win in this contest, moving to 14-0 with a decision win. Estevam focused on takedowns, ground control, and ground strikes on his way to victory. The knock on the 28-year-old from the UFC commentary team was his lack of finishes. With that being said, Estevam did look to do damage with elbows and punches on the mat.

Piera Rodriguez: Piera Rodriguez, who was a big favorite over Ketlen Souza at -270, defeated Ketlen Souza by split decision in the card opener. Rodriguez used a well-rounded game to pick up the victory, mixing up her striking targets and techniques, while racking up takedowns and ground control.

Nick Klein: Nick Klein dropped to 0-2 in the UFC with two second-round knockout losses. Klein needs a lot of work if he hopes to hang around the UFC. If he can’t get the fight to the mat and keep it there, he struggles. Klein also needs to pace himself much better as he looked tired after a fast start.

Felipe Bunes: Felipe Bunes’ lack of takedown defense paired with an inability to get off the mat, hurt him in a big way in his loss to Rafael Estevam. However, he did look for submissions from his back, winning the first round thanks to his grappling.

Ketlen Souza: Ketlen Souza was a game opponent for Piera Rodriguez, but she was just not as versatile in her abilities, especially in the wrestling department. Souza also seemed to slow a bit in the third stanza, but she never gave up on herself during the 15-minute affair.

UFC Vegas 108 Main Event Preview: Tatsuro Taira Vs. Hyun Sung Park

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.

ForbesUFC 320 Main Event: Magomed Ankalaev Vs. Alex Pereira 2 Opening OddsBy Trent Reinsmith

When the betting odds opened for this matchup, Taira was a -350 betting favorite over Park, who came in as the +275 betting underdog.

Bettors are taking the underdog in the hopes of an upset. Park has earned 74 percent of the bets, while picking up 75 percent of the handle.

The good news heading into this fight is that Park is not coming into UFC Vegas 108 fully unprepared. He was booked opposite Steve Erceg for next week’s UFC Vegas 109 card, so he will at least face Taira with most of a fight camp behind him. However, that fight was scheduled for three rounds, while this contest is a five-round affair.

Taira is a good striker, he is better on the mat. However, he is aware how fights are scored, so he’ll engage in striking before moving to his grappling. Park, on the other hand looks to grapple first.

Taira is the more well-rounded fighter in this contest and that will allow him to carry the day. The pick is for Taira to win via stoppage. I see him scoring a knockdown against Park, but I’m unsure if the finish will be more strikes or if Taira follows things to the ground to get the sub. Considering Taira’s grappling skills, go with the submission.

UFC Vegas 108 Preview – Elves Brener Vs. Esteban Ribovics

A lightweight matchup between Elves Brener (16-5) and Esteban Ribovics (14-2). Ribovics opened as the -300 favorite over the +240 Brener. The line has gotten a little closer on this one, but not by much. Today, Ribovics is listed at -250, while Brener checks in at +200.

When the odds opened for this scrap, Magny was the +200 betting underdog to the -250 Dos Santos. The line has tightened for this one. Today, Magny is +150 and Dos Santos -185.

While Magny is the betting underdog, the bettors are invested in him with 74 percent of the bets and 75 percent of the handle on Magny.
