Back in February, Porter ventured to Perth, Australia, where he lost to Justin Tafa by first-round knockout. Saturday night, he steps in with Justin’s little brother Junior, looking for a measure of revenge, along with a second straight victory.
“Oh, absolutely!” he said when asked if there he’s looking to exact a little payback by returning the favor to the younger Tafa this weekend after big bro put him out at UFC 284. “I’m human. I’m not gonna say no — it would absolutely be the cherry on a sundae.”
It’s another cool wrinkle in what is an incredible story, one that is still being written, and should probably one day be turned into a movie; dibs on first crack at the screenplay.

“Now that I’m here, it’s to continue on and really make a name for myself; carve out my legacy and make my niche in the sport,” said Porter, turning his focus to the future. “I want to put my name in the history books.”
Literally speaking, he already has, as he and Chase Sherman combined for the most significant strikes landed in a three-round heavyweight fight in the summer of 2021, breaking a record Porter had set with Josh Parisian in his previous appearance.
In a broader sense, I would argue he has, as well.
