Tatsuro Taira was originally scheduled to fight Amir Albazi, but Albazi wasn&#8217;t cleared medically to fight and Hyunsung Park stepped in. Taira is currently ranked sixth in the UFC&#8217;s flyweight division while Park is unranked. The prelims for this 12-fight event start at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday while the main card begins at 9 p.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taira is the -355 favorite while Park is a +280 underdog in the main event according to the latest UFC odds. In a battle between ranked women&#8217;s bantamweights on the undercard, Karol Rosa is the -180 favorite over Nora Cornolle. Before locking in your UFC Fight Night picks, you NEED to see the latest MMA predictions from SportsLine MMA analyst Kyle Marley.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past three-plus years, $100 bettors who have followed Marley&#8217;s picks are up nearly $10,000, and since May 2018, he has returned nearly $21,000!<\/p>\n<p>The accomplished MMA analyst has provided consistent winners for SportsLine members for the past five years. His accomplishments include hitting five consecutive main-event underdog winners in 2020 following the UFC&#8217;s brief pause in action because of the pandemic. He also finished up 1.1 units on the last UFC card. Anyone who has followed Marley could be way up.<\/p>\n<p>This week at UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park, Marley is backing Rosa (-180) in her women&#8217;s bantamweight bout against Nora Cornolle (+154). &#8220;This could be a close fight but I do give Rosa the overall edge. The wrestling could go either way, but that is where I see Cornolle having more success,&#8221; Marley said. &#8220;If she can&#8217;t get the fight to the mat then I see Rosa being the better striker and landing more volume. I&#8217;ll take her to win two rounds.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park headlines a loaded card on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":["post-39898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
