In the main event of UFC Vegas 93 on Saturday, ranked middleweights threw down as Tatsuro Taira took on former title challenger Alex Perez.
Taira entered the fight with a perfect 15-0 record and was ranked 13th at flyweight. The Japanese fighter was 5-0 in the UFC and had notable wins over C.J. Vergara and Carlos Hernandez, but this was a big step-up in completion. Perez, meanwhile, was ranked fifth at flyweight and was coming off a KO win over Matheus Nicolau to return to the win column.
Ultimately, it was Taira who won by second-round TKO as Perez got injured on a takedown from the Japanese fighter. Following UFC Vegas 93, here is what I think should be next for both fighters involved in the main event.
