With only 24 years old, Tai Tuivasa is demonstrating that he has everything it takes to become one of the biggest stars in the UFC heavyweight division. Especially after his spectacular victory this Saturday at UFC 221.
In what was his second fight inside the UFC octagon, Tai Tuivasa faced Frenchman Cyril Asker, whom he would defeat by technical knockout in the first round.
Demonstrating an unusual speed for the UFC heavyweight division, Tai Tuivasa showed off his best combinations of punches and elbows from the start of the fight, leaving no chances for his opponent.
After a series of brutal punches on a Cyril Asker who could not find an escape, Tai Tuivasa only had to push his rival, who fell face first onto the canvas completely unconscious. One of the most spectacular victories of UFC 221.
