“Peace of Mind” will be back …
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight finisher Hyun Sung Park suffered his first professional loss on short notice at UFC Vegas 108 last night (Sat., Aug. 2, 2025). The South Korean was submitted in the second round by top contender Tatsuro Taira inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada (watch highlights).
Following the defeat, Park took to Instagram to address the setback with resilience and determination.
“Absolutely lost,” Park wrote in Korean. “It’s hard, indeed. I faced many challenges, but I’ve learned valuable lessons. I will grow from this experience and won’t give up. I’m climbing back up. This was a learning opportunity.”
“I’ll show you my best in the next match soon,” he continued. “I’m not frustrated. Thank you all for your support. And no more 7-day rush offers! Lmfao.”
Park (10-1) saw his impressive ten-fight win streak snapped, but his youth and talent suggest a strong comeback is imminent. “Peace of Mind” holds a 3-1 UFC record, all three wins by finish, which include a submission win over Carlos Hernandez (highlights) and a knockout of Shannon Ross.
The 29-year-old’s willingness to take on Taira on short notice shows that he’s a fighter with no fear and one to keep an eye on in the coming years.
