UFC Vegas 108 Recap: Taira’s Redemption and Two Epic Brawls Earn Fight of the Night

On August 2, 2025, the UFC returned to the Apex in Las Vegas for UFC Vegas 108, headlined by Tatsuro Taira rebounding with a commanding submission victory over short-notice replacement Hyun Sung Park.

Main Event: Taira Back in Form

Taira, a top-ten flyweight, wasted no time putting his mark on the night. After a decision loss in October, he responded emphatically with a face‑crank submission at 1:06 of Round 2, reestablishing himself with authority. His performance was universally praised; local coverage noted the “near‑flawless” nature of the win. Following the victory, Taira has catapulted back into the Top 5 of the UFC flyweight rankings.

Fight of the Night: Two Unforgettable Wars

Unusually, UFC Vegas 108 awarded two Fight of the Night bonuses—both earning the usual $50,000 paydays for all four combatants.

• Esteban Ribovics vs. Elves Brener: A striking showcase in the lightweight division, where both fighters traded over 100 significant strikes apiece. Ribovics returned to winning form via unanimous decision, earning his third consecutive Fight of the Night.
• Chris Duncan vs. Mateusz Rebecki: Perhaps the evening’s bloodiest and most brutal bout. Both warriors left the cage physically battered, with Rebecki sporting severe facial injuries, including a nearly swollen‑shut eye. After the war, Duncan was declared the winner via unanimous decision. Rebecki, despite the loss, earned his bonus while hospitalized and remained defiant, vowing to return stronger. Duncan revealed the fight triggered deep emotional responses, stating the physical damage paled in comparison to his childhood traumas.

Other Notable Wins

• Neil Magny snapped a winless skid, defeating Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos by second-round ground-and-pound TKO, delivering a career-saving victory for the veteran welterweight.
• Additional solid performances included Karol Rosa (unanimous decision over Nora Cornolle), Kevin Vallejos, Rinya Nakamura, Rodolfo Vieira, Andrey Pulyaev, Austin Bashi, Rafael Estevam, and Piera Rodríguez, who each secured wins on the prelims and main card.

In summary, UFC Vegas 108 delivered a dramatic main event, unforgettable lightweight wars deserving of double bonuses, and key performances from up-and-comers and veterans alike. The night reaffirmed Tatsuro Taira’s title ambitions and gifted fans two potentially Fight-of-the-Year contenders.
