Taira is one of the most promising prospects in the flyweight division. He has won all four of his UFC fights, including a decision win over Edgar Chairez in his most recent outing. Dvorak is a veteran flyweight who is known for his striking. He is coming off a unanimous decision loss against Steve Erceg in his last fight.

This is a good matchup for both fighters. Taira is looking to continue his winning streak and move closer to a title shot, while Dvorak is looking to get back into the win column and climb the rankings.

Dvorak Looking to Bounce Back

Dvorak is coming off a unanimous decision loss against Steve Erceg. He is looking to get back into the win column. Dvorak is a tough out for anyone, and he will be a tough test for Taira. This is a fight that has the potential to be a Fight of the Night contender.
