Rising Japanese flyweight Tatsuro Taira has his second UFC assignment.
Taira (11-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will take on former Fury FC flyweight champion C.J. Vergara (10-3-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on Oct. 15. The event does not currently have a publicly announced location or venue.
Multiple people confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after Taira’s manager, Jason House, of Iridium Sports Agency, announced the fight in an interview with The Underground.
