UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Spivak is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 5 at the popular UFC Apex Arena which will host Japanese Tatsuro Taira and Mexican Jesus Santos Aguilar. The bout will take place in the prelims in the flyweight category. The undefeated Japanese prospect has already made two successful league appearances. Ahead of him is a fight against Dana White’s challenger series leaver. Who will manage to pull off a life-saving victory? The fight is planned for 04:00 UK time.
Taira will have a significant advantage in terms of anthropometry. The Japanese is definitely a more versatile fighter, who can show himself in the ring and the clinch. Definitely, Jesus can put up a good fight, but he may not come out as the winner. Let’s assume that Aguilar can live up to the third five minutes, and then the denouement will come.
Japanese undefeated flyweight Tatsuro Taira is 23 years old with a pro record (12-0-0). The talented youngster has been conquering the UFC since 2022, passing American Carlos ‘’The Cannon’’ Candelario and American C.J. Vergara in his first two fights. The former was outclassed on points and the latter finished the latter with a submission. Prior to signing with the elite promotion, Tatsuro fought exclusively in Asia and even took the title of the Shooto organization.
The Japanese is a heightened threat in parterre due to his advanced skills in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Six of his opponents have lost by submission and three others were knocked out.
Mexican Contender Series entrant Jesus Aguilar is 26 years old and has eight wins in nine fights on his record. All the way through, he has competed in low-profile local organisations and also won the UWC Mexico title at 125 lbs. Last August he finished Dana White’s Brazilian Erisson Ferreira ‘’Gato’’ da Silva with a guillotine in the 3rd round.
Jesus has impressive grappling, allowing him to sidestep his opponents’ guard and finish them. Six wins out of eight have been by painful/choking holds.
