Drinks Beer… Knocks UFC Heavyweights Out - Tai Tuivasa

Спорт

Despite looking like a burger exterminator, Tai Tuivasa manages to send UFC heavyweights into oblivion. With no foundational martial arts training he ascended to the top of the most prestigious weight class. Today we take a deep dive into the career of the Australian brawler, who traded bright prospects in rugby for a harsh prizefighter life.

    This man is the archetypical brawler: Not too streamlined, not too refined but as sturdy as a bridge and as strong as a bull. If that isn't enough, though, when it's time, he's capable of firing off a barrage of straight accurate haymakers that can simply beat even the big guys to the ground...incredible.

    He honestly shows great restraint. As soon as he sees his opponent is lights out he doesn't hurt them anymore while they're defenseless. Most fighters will feed them another 4 free fists until the ref jumps in. I think he would've beaten peter graham in his first fight if he'd pressed the attack, but i've only seen this much. It's incredible for a guy of his size to be throwing those flying knees so high and hard.

    A wonderful thing with Tai is that he would be just as happy back in Australia throwing a rugby ball around a park with family and friends and getting by out of the limelight. When you have a free mind and are fighting for the love of it it's all good fun. Evolved hugely as a fighter. Never going to be a submission specialist but with his power and striking skills he only needs reasonable ground defense. Typically modest Aussie lad !😎👍

    I'm a casual runner. I do half marathons. Sometimes I'll use beer to carb up. Not the day before, but the day before the day before. The day before I'll be slightly hungover but full of carbs. Being hungover makes me a little extra tired, I'll spend the day hurting slightly but relaxed the night before a race I'll sleep like a baby. The next morning I'll be rested, ridiculously carbed up, ready to run 13 miles and still feel like I have gas left by the time I cross the finish line. I'm starting to get too old to drink all the time, I'm not in my early 20's anymore (was a bad idea even then haha), so I just drink strategically :)

    Cyril was just teeing up on Bam-Bam, that was a clear display of a methodical fighter vs a brawler with a strong chin. History has shown time and time again that the fighter does win that match-up in most cases. As much as I love watching brawlers like Tank Abbott and Chuck Liddell, and Tai here, it's just not a style that has any lasting success in the octagon especially these days.

    The ref didn't call it, and the ref is the one who deducts points, not the judges. Not a great situation for sure - if blows to the back of the head were treated the same way as 12-6 elbows or grounded knees a lot of MMA matches would probably have ended differently. For example in Dustin Poirier's second fight with Eddie Alvarez, Eddie had Dustin in an awful position until he threw a 12-6 elbow. This caused the fight to reset on the feet and Dustin pretty much immediately obliterated Eddie's entire face, winning the fight by KO. Now imagine Ciryl Gane's back-of-the-head blow to Tai Tuivasa had been treated that way - Tai might have (though probably not) won the fight. EDIT: lol I just checked and it was actually the same ref in both fights, Marc Goddard
