Tagir Ulanbekov will face Joshua Van in a flyweight bout at UFC on ESPN 58 - Perez vs. Taira.
Tagir Ulanbekov, from Russia with 15 wins (1 by KO), and only 2 losses, recently won against Cody Durden via submission. Given Durden’s solid record and Ulanbekov’s recent victory over him, Tagir seems well-prepared to take on Van, who similarly has experience in defeating tough opponents but may not match Ulanbekov's grappling prowess.
Joshua Van from Myanmar boasts a record of 10 wins with 6 KOs and a single loss. His last win was a TKO victory over Felipe 'Felipinho' Bunes, highlighting his striking capabilities. Facing Ulanbekov, Van's knockout power could present a challenge to Tagir's more ground-oriented strategy. This contrast in styles sets the stage for a compelling matchup.
