Short-notice fight against Taira
Park is scheduled to compete against Tatsuro Taira in a flyweight fight at UFC Vegas 108 on Saturday, UFC.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Initally, UFC Vegas 108 was scheduled to be headlined by Taira and Amir Albazi (undisclosed). Albazi is out, meaning Taira needed a new opponent to headline the aforementioned event. Park will take the five-round fight, and in doing so, he has a prime opportunity to enter the upper echelon of the promotion's flyweight rankings. Taira sits at No. 6 with a 6-1 UFC record, his lone loss a split-decision defeat to Brandon Royval.

Fighting Erceg in Vegas
Park will fight Steve Erceg at UFC Vegas 109 on Aug. 9, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Just a day after it was released that Alex Perez would no longer be fighting in Vegas against Erceg, Park has slid into the bout. The South Korean flyweight sports a 3-0 UFC record and 10-0 professional record, so he'll look to stay hot in August against a recently struggling Erceg off a three-fight losing streak.

Cruises in return from long layoff
Park defeated Carlos Hernandez via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:26 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Fighting for the first time since December 2023, Park made quick work of Hernandez in what was a rout. He landed an easy takedown in the early going before transitioning to the rear-naked choke without issue. The 29-year-old Park is now 10-0 in his professional career with nine wins via stoppage. There's literally nothing negative to say outside of the fact he hasn't been active. He should try to get back in the octagon as soon as possible considering he absorbed zero damage in this fight.

Fight canceled
Park will not fight Nyamjargal Tumendemberel at UFC 312 on Saturday, according to the promotion's announcement Friday.
ANALYSIS
It is not Park's fault that Tumendemberel weight problems resulted in their fight cancellation, though the former will definitely suffer from something out of his control. Park has not fought since 2023, withdrawing from his lone scheduled fight for 2024.
