LAS VEGAS – Tatsuro Taira wants to make history this year.
The rising UFC flyweight contender is hoping to get a title shot against champion Alexandre Pantoja in 2024, so he can get the opportunity at becoming the first Japanese champion in the history of the UFC.
“I want against Pantoja this year, but actually I really want to see who wins between Kape and Mokaev,” Taira told reporters at the UFC on ESPN 58 post-fight press conference.
