Tai Tuivasa

The Aussie, 30, revealed that the earlier scheduled fight with Tybura was moved because he tore his meniscus in training camp. Tai Tuivasa, who released the video of the aftermath of his injury on social media, will be seeking to overturn a three-fight skid when he gets into the octagon this weekend. Before the losses, the number nine ranked UFC heavyweight had won five consecutive matches. "Bam Bam's" recent losses stretch from September 2022 - September 2023. Tuivasa was finished in all three, losing to Ciryl Gare and Sergei Pavlovich by KO and being submitted by Alexander Volkov in Sydney last September.

I fight to pay the bills, and I love it. I love the battle, the actual fight. Obviously, it takes a lot of preparation, dedication, and hard work to get there. That all comes along with it. That's more like the cherry on top for me.

I feel very comfortable in a brawl. I don't like to wait much. I feel like if he goes forward, I will be there, and we will exchange a lot. His striking is great, but I'm also there. I've focused on movement a lot, and I don't think it'll be a boring fight.
