Tuivasa reflects

“F***. What a sport. I put my all into this camp and didn’t come away with the win. Big love to all my fans I put my all into this didn’t get the treats. My bad. Love you all the real ones. Live to fight another day. AUSSIE FANS I LOVE YOU C***S BEST IN THE BIZZO.”

At the age of 31, it certainly feels like there’s still a future for Tai Tuivasa in mixed martial arts. After all, heavyweight is the kind of division where anything could happen. With that being said, he certainly needs to think carefully about his next steps. This is a fighter who is constantly willing to put it all on the line in the name of entertaining the fans, but an 0-5 stretch is certainly cause for concern.
