Tatsuro Taira Stuns Brandon Moreno with Second-Round Finish at UFC 323

Taira survived an opening-round triangle before flipping the fight in the R2, grounding Moreno, taking the back, and hammering away until the referee stepped in at 2:24. Moreno protested immediately, and Joe Rogan called the stoppage “premature” on commentary, but the result stands. The undefeated Japanese flyweight (18-1) now owns the first finish ever scored against the former champion.
