LAS VEGAS – Junyong Park wishes he could’ve fought Brad Tavares in July as originally scheduled, but he’ll have to settle for UFC Fight Night 244 on Saturday.
The first date between Park (17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Tavares (20-9 MMA, 15-9 UFC) was canceled when, after both men made weight, the doctor investigated a scratch on the South Korean middleweight’s ear that was determined to be a staph infection.
That decision did not make Park very happy.
