Alex Perez looks to put a tarnish on Tatsuro Taira's squeaky clean record! #UFCVegas93 pic.twitter.com/nJM7W6IBqT

I think Perez will look to put Taira on the fence #UFCVegas93

— Dominick Cruz (@DominickCruz) June 16, 2024

I know it's early but Taira is too comfortable on his feet right now. Perez is cracking him with these wide hooks.

Taira has some clean ass striking.

That was an ugly eye rake from Taira #UFCVegas93

Dom Cruz shitting on the new gloves in the main event after an eye poke 😭 #UFCVegas93

Taira with some well-timed eye pokes, those will pay dividends later #UFCVegas93

Alex Perez taps out due to injury in the 2nd round.

Taira had his back and used his leverage to drive him backwards, which caused the injury.

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) June 16, 2024

Taira just blew out Perez's knee pulling him to the canvas in a body triangle. That's new

Perez’s knee went BOOM. horrific way to end a fight. Taira will get a big name next. #UFCVegas93 https://t.co/UvaYMwSyL7

Well that’s a crappy ending to the main event. #UFCVegas93

— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) June 16, 2024

That back take to body triangle takedown is highly technical by Taira -what a win for the undefeated fighter. Perez is being carried out #UFCVegas93

Im happy thank you too🙌#ufcvegas93

— Takeya Mizugaki (@takeya_miz) June 16, 2024

Still trying to process that technique from Taira. Hope we can get some clarification post-fight. Beautiful technique, and that lean back was unique, but was he setting something else up? Or was that the intent? #UFCVegas93

— John Morgan (@JohnMorgan_MMA) June 16, 2024

According to bisping taira was "in complete control" though https://t.co/WCC9yOHwdS

Will be interesting to see how they match Taira next. This will likely land him in the top 6, which mean's he's going to skip over a good chunk of comp we'd normally have seen him progress through.

— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) June 16, 2024

Serious question to my expert grapplers out there. Has straightening the leg of your partner on their back, ever caused a knee injury? Because I’ve never seen that until tonight. Taira looked great but I’ve never seen that move/sequence take a knee out before. Interesting stuff.

— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) June 16, 2024

Couple of epic performances 🤩
Couple of well deserved bonuses 💰@TatsuroTaira & @BradyHiestand1 are taking home tonight’s POTN! #UFCVegas93 pic.twitter.com/TvdgOVp7EM
