Summary

Brandon Royval and Tatsuro Taira delivered the goods in the main event of Saturday's UFC Vegas 98 event at the APEX, and while Taira proved he belongs at the top of the flyweight division, it was the wily veteran who got his hand raised at the end of the night. Following the latest UFC Fight Night event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Royval's split decision win over Taira in the incredible headliner, the one scorecard for Taira, what we learned about both fighters, and where both go following the five-round classic. Additionally, they discuss Grant Dawson's fantastic night at the office — both in his fight and the post-fight interview — who got bonuses, other standout moments from the event, and much more.
