Video: Does Tatsuro Taira have potential to become UFC flyweight champion?

On the latest episode of “Spinning Back Clique,” the panel reacts to Tatsuro Taira’s latest win.

This past Saturday in the main event of UFC on ESPN 58 in Las Vegas, Taira (16-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) picked up a injury TKO win over former title challenger Alex Perez. Although victorious, Taira’s victory came following a knee injury sustained by Perez (25-9 MMA, 7-5 UFC) while Taira was on his back.

With the somewhat inconclusive result, where does the undefeated Japanese contender go next? Does he have the potential to hold gold at flyweight?

MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Farah Hannoun, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George Garcia discuss the result from the UFC on ESPN 58 main event.
