There’s no better feel-good moment than watching the thrill of a fighter’s family in reaction to a win.
Justin Tafa rebounded big from his first pro loss via knockout with a finish of his own when he took out Juan Adams in Round 1 of their heavyweight clash at this past weekend’s UFC 247 in Houston.
Tafa was knocked out in front of his friends and family in his UFC debut at UFC 243 in Melbourne, but he was able to redeem himself in emphatic fashion.
His family seemed to be very emotional, too, delivering an incredible reaction. What looked like 30 people in the home sounded like 300 roaring, as the “Tafa Gang” jumped for joy.
