Van Defends Flyweight Belt vs Taira at UFC 327

UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van defends his title against Tatsuro Taira in the co-main event of UFC 327 on April 11 at Kaseya Center in Miami. Van won the belt in December via first-round TKO over Alexander Patozka, boasting a 16-2 record. Taira, with one career loss, has won his last two UFC fights and climbed the rankings. This long-delayed bout was originally scheduled two years ago. It impacts the flyweight division by testing Van's reign against a top contender. A Taira win could refresh the title picture; expect grappling vs striking.
