AUSTEN LANE VS JUSTIN TAFA PREDICTION

Austen Lane (12-3-0) will make his UFC debut as he takes on Justin Tafa (6-3-0). The American has won his last six fights with 11 of his 12 wins to date occurring by KO. He will look to overwhelm Tafa but the Australian will have other ideas. He comes into this having won his last two bouts and all of his six successes have occurred by KO. He has shown that he is a strong puncher but also has the ability to take opponents down with his kicking ability and that makes him a real danger. Both men can come out on top here but Tafa has to be favoured to prevail and with all three of Lane’s losses seeing him go down by KO, it would not be a surprise to see Tafa stop this one early too.

Prediction: Justin Tafa to win by KO, TKO, DQ or Submission
