Junior Tafa – the younger brother of fellow UFC heavyweight Justin Tafa – was originally scheduled to fight fan favorite Chris Barnett on Saturday's card. Unfortunately, Barnett was unable to travel to Vegas due to Hurricane Milton and was replaced at the last moment by UFC newcomer Sean Sharaf.

Tafa and Sharaf both deserve credit for agreeing to a fight on short notice, but this fight proved to be a classic example of how weak some heavyweights are in the cardio department.

It certainly wasn't a bad fight, but by the time the first round was over all the commentators could talk about was both men's dwindling fuel tanks. This discourse continued into the second round, and by this point it was clear that both men were running out of steam.

Luckily, what could have been a horrific three-round exchange ended in the final moments of the second when Tafa mustered some sort of inner strength and ended things with a barrage of punches.

There's no question that the heavyweight division has delivered some of the best knockouts in MMA history – with special recognition going to players like Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Francis Ngannou – but the division has also produced some absolute stinkouts, and that's lying usually because…big guys don't have the gas needed to go past the 10 minute mark.

Luckily Tafa put an end to things before we got that far.
