UFC 247 Predictions

3. Juan Adams Vs. Justin Tafa

If you're looking for a technical scrap, then this one isn't for you. However, if you want to see two heavyweight prospects throw down inside the Octagon for however long it lasts, then you should pay a lot of attention to this fight.

Juan Adams and Justin Tafa might not be most polished of fighters, but they do have dynamite in their hands and when they land on opponents, they usually end up staring up at the lights. What they lack in technique, they make up for with devastating concussive power.

Neither fighter looked great in their last outing, with Adams getting finished by Greg Hardy and Tafa suffering a loss in his UFC debut against Yorgan De Castro. Adams is the more experienced when it comes to fighting inside the Octagon, but both have plenty of flaws that give them a 50/50 chance. It's really a coin-toss between the two, but we'll go with Adams as he's actually got a victory inside the Octagon.
