Taira (15-0) is one of the most interesting rising contenders. The Japanese fighter is a perfect 15-0 with a proven ability to win by any means. His 5-0 UFC tenure includes knockout, submission and decision wins. Taira gets a huge escalation in challenge against a top-five opponent in his first UFC main event. Japan has never crowned a UFC champion despite the country’s rich MMA history. Taira could be close to being the nation’s first champion with a win on Saturday.

“I want to show my technique, skills, everything Perez vs Taira I have – I always look to do all of it,” Taira said through an interpreter at media day. “Alex Perez is well-rounded. He has everything. I can beat him in all aspects. That’s my preparation for this training.

“My target is Pantoja. Recently he fought five rounds [against Erceg], so I’m going to beat him up in the third round.”
