Tonight, UFC returns to Las Vegas for another card at the Apex. The card marks the 100th event the promotion will host at the UFC Apex.
UFC on ESPN 58 is headlined by a flyweight bout between former title challenger Alex Perez and No. 13 ranked Tatsuro Taira.
Taira is undefeated with a 15-0 record, and holds five wins in the UFC.
Josefine Knutsson returns to action
Undefeated Swedish strawweight Josefine Knutsson returns for her second fight in the promotion. She will take on Julia Polastri in the first fight of the prelims. The two were scheduled to fight in March, but Knutsson was forced to pull out due to an injury.
“It’s awesome to get Julia again,” Knutsson recently told Frontkick in an exclusive interview. “We already prepared for her, so now I’m just focusing on keeping my body intact.”
The 26-year-old Brazilian lost her first shot on DWCS in 2021, but went on a 3-0 run to get another shot. This past September, she choked out Patricia Alujas to win a contract.
