What happened to Sumudaerji and Tim Elliott?
This fight might be way more difficult for Joshua Van and less to gain for Taira

 

[Kwic]

Great fight.
Tatsuro via strangulation.

 

[sdpdude9]

Awesome fight but will kill off one of the top up and comers in a division that really needs them so that sucks.

 

[GreenGorilla]

UFC working overtime to have prospects crush each other early lol

 

[sonhow]

If you dont know these men I will say this fight is a surprisingly high level matchup.

If you dont know, now you know

Wanna be happy cause this fight is a banger, but sad that one guy has to lose. Both deserved ranked opponents and are a breath of fresh air in the division

 

[Khaosan]

Talk about making prospects fight each other early, JFC. This fight is awesome, but will likely end with Taira grapplefuckling Van.

 

[Ares Black]

Ugh I hate it.

My top two prospects in the division fighting about two years too soon.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Surprisingly, I've never seen Van fight but he has a pretty nice resume. Hopefully he knows how to grapple. I don't know how I've missed him all this time with the wins he has.

A single loss does not kill off a prospect. It just derails a hype train.

He does, but he needs to avoid it like the plague.

He does, but he needs to avoid it like the plague.

Win or lose, I'd love to see some slick scrambles and I'd like to see Taira flex his stand up a bit more.

Yeah the scrambles in this fight could be wild.

If you’re sensible it doesn’t, but sherdog says it’s the end of their career lol.

But for real, the division could use some hype trains though. A little stagnant at the top and you’ve got a champion with wins over almost everybody already.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Cracking fight but Vans notorious slow starts undo him here. Taira submission 1st round.

 

[Brigfa2]

I'm sick of people crying about TwO PrOsPeCtS FiGhTiNg bs

 

[EndlessCritic]

Let me guess: The UFC is going to make this the prelim opener?

 

[Petarito]

Absolute BANGER of a fight. Cant wait

 

[europe1]

One of those fights that look so good I'm almost ashamed we're watching it now rather than for a title.
