Christian travelled 2,500 miles to leave his hometown Rio Preto do Eva and join CM System in Curitiba, and now feels more \u201cadapted to UFC level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Even though he\u2019s 0-1 in the UFC and 9-3 as a professional, Christian feels it\u2019s Tafa who has all the weight on his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cHe\u2019s coming in under twice more pressure,\u201d Christian told MMA Fighting. \u201cHe\u2019s on a two-fight losing streak since moving down a weight class. He\u2019ll be fighting at home, which adds even more pressure, especially with contract implications, so he\u2019s carrying a huge burden. I lost my first fight but I\u2019ve already made improvements, and I\u2019m confident I\u2019ll come out with the win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Tafa has only gone the distance once in 11 professional MMA bouts, and Christian is confident that the longer the fight goes, the better he will do. Tafa\u2019s losses at 205 pounds came in submissions against Tuco Tokkos and Billy Elekana, and his heavyweight run in the UFC featured knockouts over Parker Porter and Sean Sharaf separated by defeats to Valter Walker, Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Mohammed Usman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cJunior Tafa is an explosive guy with heavy hands who can manage distance well, but he tends to gas out faster,\u201d Christian said. \u201cHe explodes early in the rounds but can\u2019t maintain that consistency. I focus a lot on isometric work and ground game, but I also have the tools to engage with him in striking and grappling. It\u2019s a very favorable matchup for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Christian turned 31 in January and believes he\u2019s finally fulfilling his true potential training under the wing of Cristiano Marcello in the south of Brazil, especially considering he\u2019s now a full-time fighter after spending most of his MMA career juggling between training and engineering school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI had to balance both,\u201d Christian said. \u201cThere was a period when I had to stop [fighting] and focus more on studies, then the pandemic hit and I stayed inactive for a while. I came back after that, already graduated, and left my engineering career behind, and went to war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Christian said, \u201cengineering was my Plan A\u201d because he felt \u201cthe sport isn\u2019t really taken seriously\u201d in the Amazon region, and it would be nearly impossible for him to make it to the UFC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI had the dream, but not the full belief that it would happen, so I had to study,\u201d Christian said. \u201cBut it worked out in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cAnd now I can say I\u2019m ready,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m going in well-prepared, physically strong, and mentally calm. I\u2019ll be fighting in his hometown, but that doesn\u2019t bother me at all. What matters is being good with myself. I made my debut at the APEX, a smaller card, but there\u2019s no such thing in the UFC. It will be a different experience with a crowd now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/kevin-christian-junior-tafa-under-230000100.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia\u2019s own Junior Tafa enters UFC Perth this Saturday on a two-fight losing skid as a light heavyweight and an overall UFC record of 2-5, and his opponent Kevin Christian wants to make his life even more miserable.
