Junior Tafa vs. Valter Walker is a fight between the younger brothers of two MMA legends, Justin Tafa and Johhny Walker. Justin\u2019s brother Junior is 5-2 overall with two losses in his three UFC fights. Johnny Walker\u2019s brother Valter is 11-1 with his only loss happening in his UFC debut in April this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An interesting fact about Junior Tafa is that each of his five wins happened by KO\/TKO. He\u2019s a prolific striker who uses his Muay Thai skills to land powerful punches and leg kicks. This has worked for him in most of his fights, with the only two exceptions being the fights with Mohammed Usman (Kamaru Usman\u2019s brother) and Marcos Rogerio de Lima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usman beat him by decision in a 3-round fight that saw Tafa land 3x more strikes than his opponent. The reason why he lost was that Usman landed two takedowns and kept him pinned to the ground for most of the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against Marcos Rogerio de Lima, he lost by a knockout, but in that fight too, he suffered one takedown, which is another piece of evidence that wrestling isn\u2019t his forte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
