UFC Vegas 108, the 108th Fight Night Stop on the UFC schedule, may have seen on another APEX show on the surface, but eventually delivered some history after an unexpected withdrawal in the main event.

The first APEX card since May was initially supposed to be covered by the young star Tatsuro Taira opposite Amir Albazi. It then became the first all-Asian main event in UFC history when the unbeaten Korean Hyun Sung Park came in the short term in the short term to be confronted against Taira. Now that the event is behind us, let’s look ahead to some matchups that can come for the victorious hunters from Saturday.

Tatsuro Taira

The young Japanese rising star bounced back nicely after his first professional loss against Brandon Royval last October. The promotion clearly thinks high of Taira, because this was his third consecutive chance of the main event, and it is easy to understand why he set up after the performance he set up. Despite the fact that it was not yet known about the masses, Park came in as an undefeated 29-year-old on a 9-Fight finishing streak with a Road to UFC Tournament wins his name. This is a victory for Taira who has the potential to get very nice and older when park can bounce back and keep rising steadily as he was.

Given the flight weight champion, Alexandre Pantoja, apparently has a date with Joshua from in December, it is almost certainty that Taira will have to win another fight before he gets his shot in the title. Manel Kape is another name that had a lot of momentum before he fell to Muhammad Mokaev a year ago. Since then he has won this momentum, but an early retirement against Brandon Royval in June opened the door to steal his place. For me, locking Taira and Kape in the cage is an easy call to make, because this fight would inevitably produce the next worthy competition. It is also an obvious call to place it on the same card as Pantoja vs van, so that the UFC can have a back -up hunter ready.

Taira’s next fight: Manel Kape

Chris Duncan

The UFC Vegas 108 card was blessed with two lightweight bangers just before the main event. In the Co-Main we had Chris Duncan who survived Mateusz Rebecki in a very similar way how Rebecki Mytybek Orolbai Vecht of the Year Candidate at UFC 308. Now 5-1 in the UFC, the Scottish hunter has added to his game since his two clear layers Competition series to attack. He is an action hunter who produces results that are worth a steady increase in competition. Even if Esteban Riabovics had not participated on this map, there is a good chance that I would have chosen him as the next opponent of Duncan. Both escape this card with heavily fought victories, the timing is almost certain to work to meet a few months later.

Duncan’s next fight: Esteban Riabovics

Esteban Riabovich

In contrast to the Co-Main event, two campaign welcomes were opposed to the chapter. Both Riabovics and Elves Brener wanted to come back to the win -column and it was the Argentinian that was eventually lifted with his hand. Ribovics landed a number of beautiful combinations, but Brener’s insane toughness enabled him to survive long enough for the Argentinian to slow down a little, but not enough to steal the victory. My reasoning for matching Riabovics with Duncan is the same as that explained above. Even if Duncan did not moisture on this card, I would still have coupled them together because they are in very similar places in the division.

Ribovics’ Next Fighter: Chris Duncan

Karol Rosa

Brazilian Rosa, who has been a supporting pillar of the women’s bantam weight, juggles with victories and losses for her last eight fights. I think the way the promotion used her as a gatekeeper for the top 10 has been effective. Fighters such as Norma Dumont, Irene Aldana and Ailín Pérez have passed her, while UFC Vegas 108, Nora Cornolle could not. We now know what kind of expectations we should have for the French woman. Mayra Bueno Silva came on a hot streak and drove it to an empty title shot, but what kind of expectations do we have to have realistic for the former title -Plager? Let’s let her fight against Rosa and really find out.

Rosa’s next fight: Mayra Bueno Silva

Neil Magny

After being eliminated in just two and a half months by rising stars Michael Morales and Carlos Prates, most of us thought it ended for Neil Magny. The smart veteran still has enough gas in the tank to achieve some victories at the UFC Level, as demonstrated by his TKO finish over eleven Zaleski dos Santos. Although it seems that Magny apparently has already fought, there is a matchup that I find intriguing. Chris Curtis recently went to Welterweight and conquered this. Curtis is former middleweight, but always looked small for that weight class, while Magny is long and lanky for his division. It is a matchup suitable for age between two hunters with similar roles in the division. Why not?

Magny’s next fight: Chris Curtis

Kevin Vallejos

Although Danny Silva clearly offered more resistance than the last two opponents of Vallejos, he still could not pass the younger. Vallejos is a blue-chip prospect whose only professional loss of him Competition series fight with Fighting against Nerd Jean Silva. The 23-year-old Argentin seems to have a bright future and when the UFC knows that they have a potential star in their hands, they usually try to set them up against names that will recognize the fans. This is a murderous company and despite losing its 5one Fight in a row, all signs indicate that Calvin Kattar is still under contract with the MMA leader. If they do not cut him, it would not be surprising to see that they use what is left of him to best serve their future interests. A few years ago, Kattar would have been too early for a young prospect such as Vallejos. But now the Bostonian has the exact profile you would like as the next opponent of Vallejos. He is a recognizable name with different main events under his belt, but clearly long enough in the tooth that you would favor the Argentinian to win.

Vallejos’s next fight: Calvin Kattar
