Taking on Naurdiev
Park will take on Ismail Naurdiev in a middleweight bout at UFC Qatar on May 17, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Park is coming off a bounce-back win over Brad Tavares back in October. He was riding a four-bout winning streak prior to the loss in his previous fight, but he got back in the win column to push his UFC record to an impressive 8-3. His opponent Naurdiev is also coming off a win, but he's less experienced in the promotion with a 3-2 record.

Overcomes slow start to win
Park defeated Brad Tavares via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
As is the case most every time Park steps into the Octagon, it was an ugly, grinding, physical affair. And as is the case more often than not, he emerged victorious. Park started slowly and found his range as the fight progressed. He really opened up on the feet in Round 2 before planting Tavares to the mat nearly the entirety of Round 3. Two judges -- correctly -- felt that was enough to give him the decision. Park lacks elite physical gifts, but he's tough as nails and has proven time and time again he can overcome difficult situations inside the Octagon. The 33-year-old is 5-1 in his past six bouts dating back to May 2022.
