More Fantasy News
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.

Taira will face off against Carlos Hernandez at UFC Shanghai on Dec. 9, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Taira, who maintains a perfect 4-0 record in the UFC, has drawn his next opponent after a bout with David Dvorak fell through. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter will look to stay undefeated in UFC action when he faces off against Carlos Hernandez in December.

Receives next challenge
Taira will fight David Dvorak at UFC Vegas 81 on October 14, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Taira will look to continue his undefeated streak as a professional fighter against Dvorak who has lost three consecutive bouts. The 23-year-old out of Japan is 4-0 in the UFC and better yet has not lost a round in his MMA career. A victory over Dvorak would likely put his name in the flyweight ranks as he looks to build on his impressive run.
