The UFC stages UFC Vegas 98 from the UFC APEX on Oct. 12 with a pivotal flyweight match-up as the main event.
Former title challenger and No. 1 ranked flyweight Brandon Royval looks to defend his position in the top of the division against No. 5 ranked Tatsuro Taira. Whoever wins this fight could be next in line to fight the winner of Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Asakura which is scheduled for later this year.
Royval is coming off a win over former champion Brandon Moreno in February and hopes to extend that momentum with a win over Taira.
Taira is undefeated and will look to keep that winning streak alive with the biggest fight of his young career.
Outside of the main event, the rest of the card is unranked fighters looking to show the voting panel why they should be added to their division's top 15 rankings.
Follow along with us here for the main event starting at approximately 9 p.m. ET / 2 a.m. UK.
