Royval vs Taira

The UFC Apex hosted a Flyweight main event between Brandon Royval and undefeated prospect Tatsuro Taira. The card also included Brad Tavares vs. Park Jun-yong at Middleweight after their matchup was scrapped on the Lemos vs. Jandiroba card when Park was not medically cleared following weigh-ins, then rescheduled here. Fight week had multiple disruptions: three fighters missed weight, and the Chris Barnett fight went through late opponent changes after travel issues tied to Hurricane Milton.
