Finds range after slow start
Park defeated Albert Duraev via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:45 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 49 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Park is so much fun to watch. He works primarily behind the jab, as he did here, until the point Duraev gassed out, at which he pounced. Park offered nothing for the first four minutes before jumping on a guillotine that nearly closed the show in the opening seconds of Round 1. He squeezed hard for the stoppage but couldn't get. Somehow he was the man with more energy when Round 2 rolled around, and he eventually battered Duraev on the feet before sinking in a rear-naked choke which forced Duraev to tap. Park is tough as heck and deceptively athletic for a big man. He's won seven of eight dating back to December 2019 and is due a bump up in competition his next time out.

Scheduled to fight Duraev
Park is scheduled to fight Albert Duraev in a middleweight bout at UFC Vegas 77 on July 15, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Duraev is scheduled to be Park's second opponent in 2023. The first, Denis Tiuliulin, quickly tapped out to Park earlier this year at UFC Vegas 68. He is 6-2 in the UFC with three separate three-fight winning streaks. A win over Duraev would extend his win streak to the longest it has ever been.

Quickly taps out Denis Tiuliulin
Park defeated Denis Tiuliulin via technical submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:05 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was Park's best performance to date under the UFC banner. Facing an opponent that has struggled with his submission defense, Park was able to snatch a takedown about a minute into the fight before going to work on the mat. He fired off some ground-and-pound, at which point Tiuliulin gave up his back, giving Park the opening to clamp on the rear-naked choke. The soon-to-be 32-year-old hasn't exactly faced top-flight competition of late, but it's difficult to argue with the results. Park was won three straight and six of seven dating back to December 2019.

Still competing Feb. 4
Park's scheduled middleweight matchup against Denis Tiuliulin will now take place at UFC Vegas 68 on Feb. 4 at the Apex in Las Vegas, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Park has emerged victorious in five of his last six trips to the Octagon and was set to compete in his native South Korea, but the UFC ultimately scrapped the entire event and moved it to Las Vegas. He'll still likely enter as the favorite against the Russian-born Tiuliulin, who is 1-1 under the UFC banner.

To fight in native Korea
Park will take on Denis Tiuliulin in a middleweight matchup at UFC Seoul on Feb. 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Park has won five of his last six UFC bouts, including a second-round submission over Joseph Holmes in October. His opponent has just two UFC fights to his name, though Tiuliulin did pick up a solid stoppage win against Jamie Pickett in September. Tiuliulin has slightly higher striking volume over a much smaller sample size, while Park has superior defensive numbers, in addition to a commendable wrestling game to lean on if need be.
