Taira nearly blew that, but 30-27 for him in the end. I like Chairez, glad he's in the UFC.

Taira needs more polish. The guys in the top 10 are too good. Even Steve Erceg from couple of weeks ago would take Taira I’d say

 Tatsuro Taira almost choked a easy W and seemed frustrated after the fight since he kicked his mouth piece from the octagon.

Proud of the audience that you could hear a pin drop when camera panned to those celebs.

I'm rooting for Robbie for this one.  One final war!!!  I totally see Robbie just swinging for the fences, yelling at Niko Price to hit him harder... crowd cheering... this might go to decision.

Tatsuro is 23 years old, this fight will do a good lesson for him and his team knows what they should work on to improve his skills (he should work on his striking defense and throw more punches in the standing fight). Taira showed attitude and knew how to overcome the times he was in trouble during the fight.
