Summary

The UFC is heading back to the APEX. This Saturday, UFC Vegas 108 goes down in the world’s mightiest APEX and with it comes a matchup of elite flyweight prospects. In the main event, Tatsuro Taira takes on Road to UFC champion Hyun Sung Park in a short-notice replacement fight that figures to be a darn good scrap, and No Bets Barred is here to break it all down. This week, host Jed Meshew flies solo to break down UFC Vegas 108, giving his thoughts on the main event matchup, Park’s chances as he steps in for Amir Albazi on short notice, Mateusz Rebecki vs. Chris Duncan in the co-main event, Rinya Nakamura’s shot at rebounding from his first career defeat, the all-action featherweight scrap between Danny Silva and Kevin Vallejos, the sad end and new beginning of The Climb, and more.
