UFC VEGAS 108 | 3 MUST WATCH FIGHTS

The UFC winds down from big live crowds this weekend, but that doesn’t mean you should miss this card! It’s got some fantastic fights on it that are, of course, flying well under the radar! But don’t worry because your boy Phil is gonna break down three you cannot afford to miss! Strap in, and let’s get into some BANGERS!
Esteban Ribovics (14-1) vs. Elves Brener (16-4)
The lightweight clash between Esteban Ribovics and Elves Brener at UFC Vegas 108 is a highly anticipated undercard bout that promises fireworks. Both fighters are known for their aggressive, high-pressure styles, making it a must-watch for fans who love action.
Ribovics, an Argentine striker, has a reputation for knockout power and a relentless pace. His two-fight winning streak, capped by a head-kick knockout of Terrance McKinney, shows his ability to end a fight in an instant.
Brener, a Brazilian, is a well-rounded fighter with a balanced attack of striking and grappling. With a history of both knockouts and submissions, he poses a threat wherever the fight goes. Even though he enters on a two-fight skid, Brener never fails to entertain. Plus, last time out, he faced Joel Alvarez, and even in defeat, his stock rose against the highly touted Spaniard.
This matchup is a pivotal moment for both men, as a victory could propel Ribovics toward a spot in the top 15 at 155 lbs, while it will serve as a great way for Brener to halt a run of consecutive losses. Given the high finishing rates of these guys, this bout has a strong possibility of ending with a highlight-reel finish, making it a prime candidate for a “Fight of the Night” bonus. 50 G’s, baby!
Chris Duncan (11-2) vs. Mateusz Rebecki (19-2): Co-Main Event
This co-main event is a thrilling matchup that pits two dangerous lightweights against each other. Both fighters are 32 years old with identical 4-1 records in the UFC and are on the cusp of breaking into the rankings.
Duncan, a Scottish knockout artist, is known for his aggressive, pressure-heavy striking. He’s a physical fighter who has shown an ability to finish opponents with his power. But of late, Duncan has shown a new side to his game, with his last two wins coming by way of submission, proving that even with seven finishes by KO, he isn’t to be counted out if the fight hits the mat.
Rebecki, from Poland, is a well-rounded combatant with a strong grappling game and a history of securing submissions. He also possesses knockout power, making him a threat on the feet as well as the mat. With a career record of 19-2, his finishes are split between nine KOs and seven submissions in his 21 pro fights. I like to think of him as the Polish Power of the lightweight division.
This bout presents an exciting clash of styles: Duncan’s usual relentless pressure against Rebecki’s versatile attack. With both men having proven their ability to finish fights and a potential spot in the top 15 on the line, this co-main event is guaranteed to be a high-stakes, high-action, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it affair.
Tatsuro Taira (16-1) vs. Hyun Sung Park (10-0): Main Event
The flyweight main event at UFC Vegas 108 isn’t just a fight; it’s a high-stakes collision between two of the division’s most dangerous rising stars. This is going to be a five-round war with the kind of tension that can cut through our TV screens, promising a definitive statement from one of these men.
On one side stands Tatsuro Taira, a 25-year-old Japanese phenom who has been on a tear. He’s more than just a grappler; he’s a suffocating force with a venomous submission game and a newly forged striking arsenal. After a dominant run, his only recent setback was a razor-thin decision loss to Brandon Royval, a result that has only added fuel to his title-shot aspirations. Taira is a predator hunting for a belt, and he’s not shy about showing it.
Across the Octagon is Hyun Sung Park, the undefeated South Korean finisher who is stepping into the main event on short notice following Albazi’s withdrawal. But he’s not here to just fill a spot; he’s here to take a head. Nicknamed “Peace of Mind,” his fighting style is anything but peaceful. Park is a whirlwind of sharp kickboxing and slick submissions, a man with a near-perfect finishing streak who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. This is his moment to crash the party and announce himself as a legitimate contender.
This isn’t a battle of wills; it’s a clash of killer instincts.
Will Taira’s technical precision and top-tier grappling prove too much to handle? Or will the fearless, explosive power of Park be the spoiler that nobody saw coming? With both fighters hungry for a finish and a spot in the rankings, this main event isn’t just a contest—it’s a brutal, beautiful demonstration of why the flyweight division is the most thrilling in all of MMA.
As always, enjoy the violence.
