Summary

Brian Campbell and Luke Thomas are live in studio to talk UFC Vegas 108 and much more!

Flyweight contender Tasuro Taira rebounded from his first career defeat to easily finish unbeaten South Korean Hyun-Sung Park. What did this performance say about the 25-year-old Japanese prospect's standing as a future threat to the UFC 125-pound title?

Back-to-back main card bouts on Saturday in the 155-pound division produced incredible TV bangers as Esteban Ribovics decisioned Elves Brener and Chris Duncan outlasted Mateusz Rebecki. Both bouts shared FIGHT OF THE NIGHT honors. Which fight was better and does either one belong in the 2025 fight of the year discussion as we kick off the second half of the year?

Plus, Thad Jean continued his breakout 2025 campaign by winning the welterweight tournament, $500K and gaining entry into PFL's Champions League. BC and LT recap PFL 8.

Happy Morning Kombat Monday, Donks!
