Description
UFC on ESPN: Taira vs. Park (also known as UFC on ESPN 71 and UFC Vegas 108) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on August 2, 2025, at the UFC Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.
Background
A flyweight bout between Amir Albazi and Tatsuro Taira was scheduled to headline this event. However, one week before the event, Albazi withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Road to UFC Season 1 flyweight winner Park Hyun-sung, who was originally scheduled to compete a week later against former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger Steve Erceg.
A flyweight bout between former LFA Flyweight Champion Felipe Bunes and André Lima was scheduled for this event. However, Lima withdrew from the fight due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Rafael Estevam.
A middleweight bout between Torrez Finney and former LFA Middleweight Champion Azamat Bekoev was scheduled for this event. However, Finney withdrew from the fight due to an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Yousri Belgaroui. In turn, the bout was scrapped and postponed to October 18 at UFC Fight Night 262 as Belgaroui was unable to get a visa in time.
A welterweight bout between Neil Magny and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos took place at this event. They were originally reportedly scheduled to face each other in May 2019, at UFC Fight Night: dos Anjos vs. Lee, but the matchup did not materialize as Zaleski dos Santos announced that he had not been contacted by the UFC about it.
A featherweight bout between Austin Bashi and Francis Marshall was scheduled for this event. However, Marshall had to withdraw due to an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer John Yannis.
A lightweight bout between Grant Dawson and Joel Álvarez was reportedly scheduled for this event. However, for unknown reasons, the bout was not formally announced.
At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight:
Tresean Gore weighed in at 189.5 pounds, three and a half pounds over the middleweight non-title fight limit.
Rafael Estevam weighed in at 130 pounds, four pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit.
Gore and Estevam's bouts proceeded at catchweight. Both fighters were fined 25 percent of their individual purses which went to their opponents Rodolfo Vieira and Felipe Bunes, respectively.
