    After a turbulent week of high-profile fight cancellations, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is hoping for some better headlines coming out of UFC on ESPN 58 .

    The 12-fight card is headlined by a fight between flyweight contenders Alex Perez and Tatsuro Taira . Both fighters successfully made weight for the five-round affair, which will pit a former title challenger against an undefeated contender. As for the rest of the card, everyone made weight with the exception of Tagir Ulanbekov , who came in 3.5 pounds over the flyweight limit for his fight against
    Joshua Van . As a result, Ulanbekov will be fined a percentage of his purse that will go to Van if the fight goes on.

    This marks the third UFC main event for Perez (25-8), who recently snapped a three-fight losing streak by knocking out Matheus Nicolau in vicious fashion earlier this year. The 32-year-old is staying busy as this is his third fight of 2024. Perez officially stepped on the scale weighing 126 pounds exactly.

    Meanwhile, the undefeated Taira has a sterling 15-0 record. Totally unblemished, the 24-year-old will face his toughest fight yet as he's taking a significant step up in competition. The Japanese fighter is 5-0 inside the Octagon and most recently picked up wins over Edgar Chairez
    and Carlos Hernandez . The Okinawa native officially weighs 126 pounds on the dot for his first UFC main event.

    UFC on ESPN 58's prelims will stream on ESPN2 and ESPN+ at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. Then the main card will kick off on ESPN2 and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
