A highly contentious aftermath came as the result of the finish of the featured UFC 305 prelim, as Valter Walker pulled off a sudden first-round win over Junior Tafa.

After getting rocked by Tafa’s striking early, Walker took the fight to the ground, where he secured solid control of the fight and did not let up.

As the seconds of the first round ticked down, Walker locked in a leg lock and got a yell of pain from Tafa, which caused the referee to step in.

Tafa protested, slapping Walker after the fight and exchanging barbs with him.

Though Tafa was unhappy and the UFC commentary team initially confused, the referee, under the Unified Rules of MMA, is allowed to call a verbal submission if a fighter cries out from pain.

Junior Tafa

Junior Tafa was none-too-happy with the referee’s decision to stop his UFC 305 featured prelim bout against heavyweight prospect Valter Walker.

Tafa appeared to have the advantage on the feet, landing a nice fight hand on Walker early on. That prompted ‘The Clean Monster’ to get his grappling game started, working Tafa against the fence and eventually taking him down to the mat. During an exchange in the closing seconds of the opening round, Walker managed to grab ahold of Tafa’s leg and cinch in a heel hook.

Tafa rolled in defense while simultaneously letting out a very audible scream. That prompted the referee to step in and call for the stoppage despite Tafa never verbally or physically tapping out.

As the commentators attempted to make sense of what happened, Tafa launched his mouthguard across the Octagon and got in Walker’s face. Tafa landed a slap on Walker as security stepped in and separated them.

Official Result: Valter Walker def. Junior Tafa via technical submission (heel hook) at 4:56 of Round 1.

Josh Culibao and Ricardo Ramos fought a competitive battle during the UFC 305 prelims, with two judges ultimately feeling Ramos deserved the nod in a close, controversial split decision.

Though Culibao damaged Ramos’ leg badly, leaving him limping, the Brazilian had complete control once the fight went to the ground, threatening a choke and nearly finishing the fight there in round one.

Culibao got back to work in the second round, landing more with his striking and having some fun in the process – courtesy of a ballerina-style spin.

In a close round three, two judges felt that Ramos, through the use of a takedown and doing what he could with his control, deserved the win.

However, it was clear that Culibao landed the greater damage through the fight.

Just under a year after suffering an injury in his last fight, Jack Jenkins is back in the win column, defeating Herbert Burns during the UFC 305 prelims.

Jenkins overwhelmed Burns on the feet, as he worked several hard-hitting combinations, compared to the single shots that Burns offered. Burns dropped to his back multiple times during the second half of the fight, unsuccessfully inviting Jenkins to get into his guard, with the referee forcing the fight back to the feet.

Jenkins dropped Burns early in the third round with a low kick and punch, and Burns was unable to get to his feet, forcing the referee to stop the fight and award Jenkins the win.

Burns’s lackluster performance was targeted on social media.
