More Fantasy News
Now fighting at UFC 302
Taira will take on Joshua Van in a flyweight matchup at UFC 302 on June 1, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taira was at one point set to take on Tim Elliot only a few weeks from this announcement, but he'll get end up getting pushed to a more prominent fight card against a more dangerous opponent. Van is unbeaten under the UFC banner, but has yet to face an opponent the caliber of the undefeated Taira. Taira will enter with big height and reach advantages here, in addition to an edge in offensive wrestling. Van's big advantage is in striking volume, though the smaller sample size must be noted.

Will face Tim Elliott
Taira will face Tim Elliott in a flyweight bout at UFC Vegas 92 on May 18, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Taira has a sky-high long-term ceiling, and while he's only beginning his UFC career, he remains undefeated and is only 24 years old. Taira owns a 5-0 record at the UFC level, with his latest win coming over Carlos Hernandez on Dec. 9, but facing an experienced fighter in Elliott could be complicated for him, particularly due to Elliott's elite grappling ability.

Remains perfect in UFC
Taira defeated Carlos Hernandez via TKO (punches) at 0:55 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Few flyweights on the UFC roster have the long-term ceiling of Taira, as he once again proved in this fight. In a bout which lasted less than six minutes, Taira finished with a 44-2 edge in total strikes landed, while adding 3:36 worth of control time and a knockdown. In short, Hernandez had zero chance of winning this fight. The UFC has been exceedingly careful regarding the level of competition Taira has faced in his five fights with the company, but everything we have seen to date suggests he is ready for a stiffer test. He'll be just 24 years of age next January.
