UFC Vegas 108 is here! Tonight, after a two-month road trip, Dana White’s promotion is back in action at its Enterprise, NV homebase. The UFC Apex facility serves as the host venue for the first of two Vegas-based editions of UFC Fight Night.

If you’re watching tonight’s show from the United States of America, UFC Vegas 108 can be seen gavel-to-gavel on ESPN (linear television) and ESPN+ via streaming media. Live coverage begins this evening at 6 pm ET/ 3 pm PT with the prelims.

Main card action follows at 9 pm ET/ 6 pm PT. Following yesterday’s weigh-in window, all 12 of tonight’s fights on the schedule will be going ahead. Two fights are to proceed as catchweight after competitors exceeded the contracted weight, both on the prelims.

UFC Vegas 108 Main Event: No. 6 Contender Tatsuro Taira vs. HyunSung Park

At the top of the bill later on tonight in Nevada, flyweights take to the fabled Octagon when No. 6 contender Tatsuro Taira (16-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) squares off against HyunSung Park (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC.) This is a five-round fight at five minutes per round to close out the show.
