Tafa’s wrestling defense will play a huge role in the fight’s outcome. If he can keep the fight on the feet, he will most likely secure a stoppage win given his power and Vanderaa’s leaky defense. However, if Vanderaa can secure takedowns and keep Tafa there for much of the fight, he will bounce back into the win column.
