FYI

UFC Opponents of one J.Tafa

Parker Porker 🐷 
Harry Hunsucker
Jared Vanderaa (Loss)
Carlos Felipe (Loss)
Juan Adams
Yorgan De Castro (Lost by KO 😆)

He has come through a real murderers row.

Also of note : Cancelled bouts
Dontayle Mayes
Jake Collier
Raphael Pessoa

The UFC obviously sees great potential in Tafa. They are giving him challenge after challenge. They expect him to crack the top 10 soon.

Btw where are Chase Sherman and Gian Vallente on this list?

That said is Lane one more addition to this list of top tier talent?

@rah what about Austen lane’s competition? 

Greg hardy - slept him so badly he didn’t know where he was m
Bkfc LEGEND frank tate - slept lane with the first punch he threw 
Vernon Lewis - took him down and mauled him khabib style; this guy fights on the side btw 
Ufc LEGEND juan adams - outwrestled and beat lane every second of the fight until he death gassed and quit 

It’s not much better. It’s clear you don’t like tafa and that’s fine, I don’t think he’s great but he’s a much better striker with better durability than lane

Ayy

Counter to your argument .

Yorgan De Castro slept Tafa.

I think getting slept by Hardy is a better look than that.

And don't forget Lane won in round 4 against Adams. In Round 4!

Sure, Tafa can win. Both Tafa and Lane are bums. Question is who is the bigger bum

Yeah bad look but he was 3-0 and that was his debut. He made one mistake and paid for it. He clearly learned from his mistake because he ko’ed porter similarly to how de castro slept him. As tafa said afterwards, “if you reach, I have to teach”

Also if we wanna talk about the adams fight 

Tafa slept him in under 2 minutes

Lane got outwrestled by him for 4 rounds & then adams death gassed and lane ko’ed him. This perfomance ages worse every day because since then, adams got ko’ed by Matheus scheffel and just 4 days ago got ko’ed by the ghost of Shelton graves… 😬

that Juan Adams L is hilarious to watch. He looks so out of place. Tafa losing to Yorgan is almost as bad.

I looked at the records of the people that knocked out Austen Lane. They're like 5-10 at a regional promotion. If you catch a video of these beasts some of them looks like middle aged guys that could cut down to middle weight.

Universal rule of MMA fade football guy Lane played football.

There are levels... even between the bums.

Tafa is one the easiest picks in this card

After seeing Santos piece up Delano, it was obvious he was talented as it can get. Haven't chose against him since, and I won't for a while.

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 390 Points   |   Tied for 2034th

Emmett vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R3
I'm taking Topuria to win but I'm not sleeping on Emmett. One huge bomb from Emmett could be all it takes. Topuria getting rocked like that by Herbert is a bad look. Topuria should get the knockout though.

Ribas vs. Barber
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Barber is trash. Ribas will win pretty easily. Ribas has more ways to win as well.

Tafa vs. Lane
Justin Tafa, TKO, R1
Tafa gonna throw a huge bomb and knock Lane out cold.

Onama vs. Santos
Gabriel Santos, DEC
This will be a great fight and skill for skill I think they're evenly matched but Onama has awful cardio and that's gonna cost him.

Allen vs. Silva
Brendan Allen, SUB, R2
Allen will get caught with a couple of shots and he will survive them and get the sub. Silva hits like a truck so surviving his shots may be near impossible but if Allen clinches with him and gets a takedown it's a wrap. Strickland knocking you out is crazy when you think of the power difference between him and Silva. Silva is live to get a finish here big time.

Magny vs. Rowe
Neil Magny, DEC
HUGE step down in competition for Magny and unless he's completely washed he will pass this test. Rowe is pretty good but he can be taken down and doesn't do much off of his back once he is down. Magny will be too much for him.

Brown vs. Turman
Randy Brown, DEC
Turman isn't good at all I can't believe some people are picking him to win. Brown got wrecked by JDM but who gives a **** cause JDM is nasty. Brown can pick Turman apart from the outside and possibly even knock him out at some point cause his chin is awful. This is a get back on track fight for Brown...I think.

Rębecki vs. Radzhabov
Mateusz Rębecki, DEC
That gas tank of Loik is questionable big time. I think the power of Mateusz will be too much for Loik and it doesn't help that Loik is extremely hittable as seen in the Ribovics fight. Loik will shoot for takedowns but he's not gonna get most.

Ricci vs. Robertson
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Ricci anyway she wants. Robertson has an unbelievable submission game but that's it. Ricci will take her down, stay safe on top, and win a decision.

Zhumagulov vs. Van
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
Van is a very good prospect and has potential but jumping in against a UFC vet who got robbed in some of his losses, is a huge step up. Van has power but Zhalgas can slow the pace of this fight down and outwork him. This will be a debut lesson for Van but don't sleep on this kid. He was supposed to fight on DWCS coming up but was pulled from there to fight Zhalgas on short notice.

Peek vs. Mariscal
Trevor Peek, TKO, R1
I think Peek is terrible but Mariscal shouldn't even be in the UFC. Peek is gonna knock him out without much trouble.

Emmers vs. Jenkins
Jamall Emmers, DEC
A lot of people seem to love Jenkins but I just don't see the hype. He's a good prospect but I think Emmers is gonna beat him. The only way Emmers loses this fight is if he makes another dumb move in the octagon and loses position or something.

Taira vs. Rodrigues
Tatsuro Taira, SUB, R2
First round will be competitive but Taira is going to sub him. Rodrigues is a good prospect but Taira is on another level and he's only 23 years old. Taira is a bit hittable and his striking needs work but it won't matter much against Rodrigues.

Brundage vs. Dumas
Cody Brundage, SUB, R2
Cody is gonna survive the first round by eating a couple of punches to the face and then he's going to break Dumas and sub him. Cody is better than Josh Fremd and look what Fremd did to Dumas not long ago. Dumas has power and submission skills but he's still so green and he's gonna get worked here.

Cody is not better than Fremd

Also Fremd is willing to die to get the win. Meanwhile I've seen Brundage on more than 1 occasion look for the door
