The absolute heart of a champion, even without the belt. Tonight Tatsuro Taira earned the respect of EVERY MMA fan watching. At 26, he walked into his first title fight and gave everything he had. No shame in losing that fight and I have no doubt his time will come. The journey isn’t over for Tatsuro Taira. #UFC328
I’m tired of hearing made-up stories from Topuria and his team.
I got the call and accepted the fight at the White House. The next day, I was told he asked for an unrealistic purse. The UFC declined, and he pulled out. That’s it nothing more to it.
Even his manager confirmed it.
Ilia, stop talking. Every interview you give tells a different story. You pulled out, and you know it.
