UFC returns to UFC APEX with an exciting flyweight contenders’ bout that will see No. 5 ranked Alex Perez lock horns with undefeated No. 13 Tatsuro Taira.  UFC FIGHT NIGHT: PEREZ vs TAIRA takes place Saturday, June 15 in Las Vegas and will be broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, as well as simulcast on ESPN+ in English and Spanish. The main card will begin at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT, with the prelims kicking off at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT. Taira kicked off his career at 10-0 before getting the call up to the big show, and then proceeded to win his first five fights inside the Octagon to improve his record to a perfect 15-0 mark. Ranked No. 13 at the moment, the Japanese-born fighter is out to crack the Top 10 to inch closer to his first-ever UFC title shot. Defeating someone like Perez will be a huge boost, but if he wants to do that he will have to get his hands very dirty because that’s how Perez likes his bouts; a good old-fashioned brawl to see who the bully really is. Taira may be a bit more technical, however, so this fight should make for a good contest to see who emerges as a possible title contender.
