Justin Tafa reacts after being snubbed of a performance bonus at UFC 284: “Like a walk off KO should be automatic”
Fernando Quiles Jr. - February 12, 2023
Justin Tafa believes he should’ve been $50,000 richer following UFC 284. Tafa competed on the main card of UFC 284, taking on Parker Porter. The fight only lasted 66 seconds, as Tafa sent Porter to the canvas courtesy of a left hand. While many thought Tafa would be a shoo-in to earn a “Performance of the Night” bonus, that wasn’t the case.

Since then he’s gone 2-3 in the promotion, but last Saturday night, he broke a two-fight losing streak by knocking Harry Hunsucker out in an emphatic fashion.

Justin Tafa hasn’t been in the UFC long, but his no-nonsense style means he’s fast becoming a fan favourite. The 27-year-old lost a split decision to Carlos Felipe in his last outing. It was an action-packed affair and one which he felt should have gone his way.
