Bad blood boiled over after a yelp marked the end of the UFC 305 featured prelim.
Valter Walker defeated Junior Tafa by verbal submission due to a heel hook at 4:56 of Round 1. Referee Steve Perceval called a stop to the heavyweight fight Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia as Walker (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) rolled Tafa (5-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC), who yelled out in pain.
Tafa took exception to the stoppage. He mouthed off with Walker and eventually slapped him. Security stepped between the two fighters are they and their teams exchanged words. Tafa flipped the bird at his opponent during the official decision before Walker cut a pro wrestling-esque promo during his in-cage interview.
