Taveras holds a unanimous decision win over Serhiy Sidey in his promotional debut at UFC 297 this past January, avenging a Contender Series knockout loss from last year. Meanwhile, Loughran suffered the lone professional defeat of his career via a unanimous decision against Taylor Lapilus in his UFC debut in September 2023. “The Don” has since bounced back with a decision win over debutant Angel Pacheco in March.
