Twitter reacts to Tatsuro Taira’s TKO of Alex Perez

I know it’s early but Taira is too comfortable on his feet right now. Perez is cracking him with these wide hooks.

Taira with some well-timed eye pokes, those will pay dividends later #UFCVegas93

Alex Perez taps out due to injury in the 2nd round.

Taira had his back and used his leverage to drive him backwards, which caused the injury.

Taira just blew out Perez’s knee pulling him to the canvas in a body triangle. That’s new

That back take to body triangle takedown is highly technical by Taira -what a win for the undefeated fighter. Perez is being carried out #UFCVegas93

I feel for my boy Alex !

Still trying to process that technique from Taira. Hope we can get some clarification post-fight. Beautiful technique, and that lean back was unique, but was he setting something else up? Or was that the intent? #UFCVegas93
