Junior Tafa is a 30-year-old light heavyweight whose game is built entirely around power — all seven of his career wins have come by knockout. He's lost three of his last four Octagon appearances, most recently a TKO loss to Iwo Baraniewski in June 2026, and now meets newcomer Quentin Pasley, who arrives at 4-0, at UFC 335.
