Tatsuro Taira encountered bad luck when his recent fight was canceled on weigh-in day, but he won’t face too much of a delay in competition. Japan’s Taira (13-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has accepted a short-notice fight against promotional newcomer Edgar Chairez (10-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC), a Mexican fighter who was originally scheduled to compete on “ Dana White’s Contender Series ” this summer. The two flyweights will square off in a 130-pound catchweight bout July 8 at UFC 290 . The event takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two people with knowledge of the matchup Tuesday informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
