The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is preparing for a highly anticipated flyweight matchup between top 10 contenders Tatsuro Taira and Amir Albazi scheduled for August 2, 2025. The fight will take place inside the UFC’s APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+. This UFC Vegas 108 flyweight showdown is expected to draw substantial attention given the caliber of the fighters involved.
New Event Poster Draws Both Praise and Questions from Fans
Earlier this week, the UFC unveiled the official poster for UFC Vegas 108, which received generally favorable comments from the combat sports community. Many fans described the design as “cool and unique,” admiring its artistic approach. However, some questioned why this poster seemed more creative compared to others, especially given its release for an event at the Apex, which typically features smaller-scale matchups. One fan commented,
“a better poster for UFC Apex 6,578 than UFC 319.”
This raised discussions about the UFC’s poster design priorities since the UFC 319 poster was notably simpler, featuring just a basic main event face-off on a white background.
Fighters Express Anticipation Ahead of the Event
Both competitors shared their excitement in the weeks leading up to the bout. Albazi posted on social media,
“Almost three weeks to go until the fight. I have worked so hard since my last fight to show people an improved version of me. I’m excited to showcase my skills.”
—Amir Albazi
Taira also expressed eagerness, stating,
“I can’t wait for this fight!”
—Tatsuro Taira

The event’s creative poster has sparked new conversations about how the UFC markets its fights, especially at the Apex venue, where some fans feel the promotional artwork deserves more attention. As UFC Vegas 108 approaches, the focus will expand on the fighters’ performances and whether the promotional material’s positive reception translates into increased viewership and fan engagement.
