PERTH, Australia – Justin Tafa is happy with how he got out of the gate in 2023.
The heavyweight scored a quick and brutal knockout over Parker Porter on the main card of Saturday’s UFC 284 at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. Tafa (6-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) slept Porter just 66 seconds into the contest. It was as clean as it gets with a knockout, and no follow-up shots were needed.
“There’s nothing like a walk-off KO in Australia, your home turf, hometown, home soil,” Tafa told reporters at his UFC 284 post-fight news conference.
