The Fast Break Prizm format Rookie Card of Tatsuro Taira — card #23 from 2023 Panini Prizm UFC. The Fast Break format is instantly recognisable: a wider landscape orientation that gives the card a bold, cinematic feel, with the dazzling fast break bubble and circle holographic pattern covering the entire black background in a swirling mosaic of multicolour refractor dots. The bold red and silver Prizm frame anchors the design, the UFC logo sits top left, and the RC shield commands the top right. The photo is absolutely electric — Taira mid-fight throwing a right hand directly at Carlos Candelario, both fighters shirtless in the Octagon, sweat in the air, pure action frozen in chrome. A completely different look and feel to the Select Red Prizm RC also available in the Octacard shop.

The UFC debut of Japan's next great flyweight
As the back of this card puts it: "Japan has a rich history of producing exciting mixed martial artists, and Tatsuro Taira is the latest in that long line of greatness. Bringing a 10-0 record into his Octagon debut, the fast flyweight put on a clinic against Carlos Candelario at UFC Fight Night: Blachowicz vs Rakic. Taira controlled the tempo and won via unanimous decision." He hasn't looked back since — Taira has continued to impress with his submission grappling and well-rounded game, cementing himself as one of the most exciting flyweight prospects in the world. Two Taira RCs on Octacard, two completely different sets and formats — this Fast Break action shot is the one that puts you right in the Octagon with him.
