Tai Tuivasa is a core fighter in the UFC. The atypical character is a real machine in the Australian cage. In 17 MMA fights, nicknamed “Bam Bam”, he set a record of 14 wins, including 13 knockouts. The last one was against Derrick Lewis in Houston on February 13. In the second round, Tai Tuivasa elbowed the American hard in the face and knocked him down completely, ending the fight.
Behind this obvious victory of Tai Tuivasa is a delicious anecdote. in an interview for RMC SportsThe 29-year-old fighter indeed revealed that he signed the contract that formalized his fight against Derrick Lewis while completely drunk: “I was drunk here in Dubai… I signed in drunk, I don’t even remember… The next day I woke up with a lot of missed calls. It was a sign for me to stop drinking (laughs)! This is a good thing. I was going to do this fight anyway. But I don’t remember signing it…“
On September 3, Tai Tuivasa will face Ciryl Gane at UFC Paris. If the French are going to play at home, the Australian does not mind giving him the slightest gift: “I feel lucky to be able to write history. I know it’s the first UFC in France, it will be a great moment. I’ve never been to Paris before. I’m not coming to lose, that’s my job. (…) I’ll make more money if I knock him out!“Thus, Tai Tuivasa sent a small message to his future rival: “Good luck bro. I came to Paris to fuck the party!“It remains to be seen whether Australia will have the opportunity to celebrate ‘shoddy’ after the fight, which consists of drinking a beer in a spectator’s shoes.
