In the feature bout of the UFC event in Las Vegas, undefeated flyweight Tatsuro Taira picked up the biggest win of his career thus far in a TKO over Alex Perez. Entering the week at No. 11, the 24-year-old from Japan leaps up to No. 7, placing him in the mix with former champions and title contenders.
