A title fight as the main event
The top of the card will feature Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira in a championship fight.
After his surprise victory over Alexandre Pantoja, Joshua Van returns directly to the main event. Facing him is Tatsuro Taira, presented as one of the most promising profiles of his generation. Two strong dynamics, two fast trajectories, and a belt on the line.
Heavyweights under pressure with Blaydes vs Hokit
