Justin Tafa, an Australian heavyweight, is set to return to the UFC octagon at UFC 312, in a much-improved physical condition after withdrawing from a previous bout. Reflecting on his experiences, Tafa emphasizes the difficulty of declining fights and the importance of timing and caution in his career, stating he learned to go with the flow rather than forcing outcomes. His upcoming opponent, undefeated Tallison Teixeira, poses a significant challenge, drawing parallels to his brother's past fights against other undefeated fighters, underscoring the unpredictable nature of the sport.
"It's really hard in this sport to say no to fights. It's like someone's coming up to you and saying 'what are you gonna do?'"
"The biggest thing I learned over the last year was to not force my hand. I think everything happens for a reason."
"It's easy to feel like you're the shark when you've been dominating, until you meet someone else that's another shark."
"My brother has been tested, that's why he came away with the W. That was the difference."
