Both fighters recently announced the booking via social media. The
UFC Fight Night event doesn’t currently have a location or
headliner.
The 23-year-old Taira is undefeated in 13 professional appearances,
with three of those triumphs coming within the Las Vegas-based
promotion. Most recently, he submitted Jesus
Santos Aguilar in the opening round of their encounter at UFC
Fight Night 218 on Feb. 4.
Rodrigues, meanwhile, has split a pair of UFC bouts after appearing
on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2021. The Team Nogueira
representative is coming off a 59-second stoppage of Shannon
Ross at UFC 284 on Feb. 11.
