There were multiple times where Taira should've got Candelaria out of there but failed to pull the trigger. Even with the spotty defense, and loose grappling.

Well Taira was just as cool calm and collected as he looked on tape, that's what impressed me the most looking at his past fight, 22 years old and completely Zen in the octagon. I was pretty sure he wouldn't be in the least bit nervous about an UFC Apex debut.

Is it just me or does Tatsuro sort of look like Jin Kazama from Tekken? Just a bit more smaller though.

2 judges who didn't give a 10-8 for either 2nd or 3rd round. Again, I maintain they forget they even have the option lol. They probably only half watched the fight while texting on their mobile phone as you often see them do during fights when the camera pans over them.

Well if you're the culprit I can live with it. At least you're not trying to hide it

@gilese yup, same reasoning as you. I thought the weight miss would cause him to gas and get subbed
