Amir Albazi and Tatsuro Taira, two high-caliber contenders, will face off in a five-round battle.\n\nAmir Albazi (17-2) will face Tatsuro Taira (16-1) in the main event of UFC Fight Night on August 2nd. The event will take place at the Apex facility in Las Vegas.\n\nAlbazi and Taira hold the number 3 and 5 positions, respectively, in the UFC flyweight division rankings. Both will seek to recover from their recent defeats.\n\nAlbazi, from Iraq, returned from a long absence due to injury to face former champion Brandon Moreno in November, losing by decision. Despite having fought only twice in the last two years, his 5-1 record remains notable in the division, in part thanks to his three finishes.\n\nTaira, a 25-year-old from Japan, suffered the first defeat of his professional career against Brandon Royval in October. Before that loss, he had accumulated six consecutive victories.\n\n\n<p>The current flyweight champion, Alexandre Pantoja, will defend his title against Kai Kara-France at UFC 317 on June 28th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albazi vs. Taira Headline UFC Card in August The UFC has announced an exciting matchup in the flyweight division for next August.
