You gotta give it to Tai he was only in his mid 20’s here and he went out there and punched on with full grown roid munchers, he’s a tough bloke.

[@berniemacdonald8026]

Mcsweeney was on TUF 10 as well

[@glovesoffwithjamesmcsweene1291]

Hey guys James McSweeney here!! This is my new podcast called GLOVES OFF with EVil Eddie

[@seniorsabali8759]

I hope your eye came right man

[@regrangihuna7319]

Sweeny gassed out ...he dont wanna be knocked out...he felt the power, he knew he couldnt keep up with it for more rounds...Tuis still young...he couldve kept going at that pace...well done no one got hurt...good call

[@C_R_O_M________]

Reg Rangihuna not a matter of age but condition and heart.

[@musclegang8255]

Yeah that’s what we want to see in fighting no one get hurt… go watch ping pong

[@2Smart4Uapes]

you stole all the words from my mouth..agreed 100

[@michaelgordonsaxophone]

Noone got hurt? McSweeney broke Tai's knee at 13:10 and he was out for a year...

[@liamgarnsey6746]

Nerd 😂

[@memesinc5852]

You could see that Sweeny gave it everything he had to try and get tui out of there in the first round and had no gameplan for the later rounds. good fight by Tai.

[@bushisback112]

I know this is old but wtf even happened? Everyones acting like tai won but I saw him getting controlled for majority of the fight

[@stevehamilton5430]

tuivasa is a monster, he hits people so hard

[@andrewcheyne9917]

That's what heavyweights do

[@duhund6830]

Not all heavyweights have that tuivasa power

[@DamanKingBear]

He's definitely gotten better as a fighter

[@lefefesole8948]

Fair fight, good for both of them, god bless to you guys 🤟🏾

[@ayy2193]

13:10 check out the angle tai's knee is at. Tai said he snapped up basically all of his ligaments here by turning into the heel hook

[@f.hofmann1515]

Holy shit

[@happym5717]

He did the best thing he could in that position really. Land huge bombs and they will let go of the heel hook, just might be too late for your knee.

[@therooffairy5979]

That punch Tai threw off his knees fucked James hard.

[@deeznutzz9864]

about time you guys uploaded this fight.

[@derrickvincent1051]

Sheesh the guy quit bc of his eye but you can tell Tai had to of messed his knee up in this fight and wanted to keep fighting

[@Megapano1]

McSweeney hit the gear hard after TUF ayye

[@ssjr85]

Megapano1 I was thinking the same thing! That season of TUF was almost a decade ago!

[@DickTrickle1]

Absolutely. I was thinking the same

[@McCracken216]

Beat me to it.

[@cameronthomas5242]

Exactly what I thought when I first saw him lol. Looks juiced to the gills

[@likewise4Gaming]

And for what? To gas out and quit after the first round? Lol

[@berniemacdonald8026]

Props to both, especially Tai. Well-rounded fight

[@Last_Chance.]

Tai sure has aged a lot in 6 years.

[@martinadejaquiz2482]

damn, i'm gonna start watching these aussie fights! thumbed up - thx!

[@pagliari945]

Tai Tuivasa for UFC

[@dentennascimento-ramelb3077]

Eduardo Flores He's signed but he's not on the card.

[@dentennascimento-ramelb3077]

Eduardo Flores I think so too. good too see more Islanders representing on the big stage. capitalizing on the road Mark Hunt, Ray Sefo , BJ Penn and other Islanders paved for them.

[@aussiemma8426]

BJ Penn is not an islander he is from Greece

[@deizha100]

What an impressive ufc debut bruh.

[@aussiemma8426]

deizha100 BJ Penn is Greek you idiot...didn't you know ?

[@BOBMAAORI-BOBSCHOPSHOP]

Great respect shown from James & his coach/trainer.

[@baileymcclain1094]

Sweeney yawning and tai sitting down all before the fight even began lol

[@bigb1157]

It's called giving up!!!

[@pierremilburn5257]

It’s called look at his record . Definitely not surprised

[@thealarmclock9307]

He obviously was in a situation he knew he couldn't handle. . It be like that sometimes. However that's the difference in a champion and a journeyman.... If you want tai to quit you gotta separate him from consciousness

[@streamfan6825]

Ive seen Sweeney a few times... is it me or does he tend to fight from the neck down?

[@sugparra2057]

Blinded by fear.

[@familygain6886]

what songs?

[@regain4891]

Was that Crute walking in behind Mcsweeney?

[@czhose]

I thought so too

[@datusi4441]

Damn this fight was actually entertaining

[@fluffy012345678910]

Bleed it out good walkout song

[@mikelombardo2316]

My dude Tai!!! That's man needs to get paid! #teamBamBam

[@ngatiwaihitman]

Lol imagine Rogan interviewing the coaches then the fighter's after their loss.

[@heatmoon]

There can be no dount that James McSweeny is benefitting from various steroids. Getting older and bigger and more vascular! No judgement, glad to see him still hanging in

[@fuafaatiga6593]

Love uso GB..

[@pirateking8024]

Old mate had no vision problems. True vision loss he would be on his way to the hospital/ophthalmologist to to make sure he didnt have a retinal detachment. McSweeney had no depth perception loss as he went to shake Tai's hand, and looked directly at him into his eye. He couldn't go out and take anymore punishment from Tai.

[@FighterMindset2024]

Lmao tai didnt even touch him. The couple he did were clearly laughed off

[@beverlypatama8148]

U probably are right, but u don't know that for sure! Only James does 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@thebomb1393]

I manage the venue where this was held. Watched it first hand. Tai’s knee was fucked up after that fight. Watched him hobble out of the venue after and you could see the pain he was hiding. Dudes a beast. And a great character.

[@Last_Chance.]

I was there that night and spoke to tai in the back. He said he wasn't sure if he was going to be able to finish the fight because his knee was so messed up and that he was glad the guy quit first

[@Solomonwantok]

Is it the mic/audio or its just dead

[@daviddevoe3792]

We're is Tony tuivasa

[@lhowlett88]

What ever reason for McSweeney's eye problem it looked innocuous. On the mic after fight he looked like he conceded defeat and didn't want to be in there any longer.

[@ericwogbe]

13:14 is enough reason?

Tai is natural but really needs too work on keeping his hands up and chin tucked now that he’s climbing the ranks in the big leagues,Because it’s only a matter of time before he gets cracked and wakes up looking at The lights.

[@devkoh3910]

Why is their title copy of ufc title! Copy right laws for ufc

[@jizim8947]

I remember James Mcsweeney or however you spell it, from the UFC. Pretty sure he was in the light heavyweight division then and I think he should've stayed there. He can't handle the power with the heavyweights.

[@KingBrew187]

Yeh and was on the ultimate fighter as well

no one comes close to Samoans in terms of raw strength and power. these fighters know that that's why these fighters are cheating with PED. Mark Hunt is a perfect example.

[@princejraxson469]

Ben Alefosio ....Ben chill out...keep it humble for the uce. ..whose grinding

[@dentennascimento-ramelb3077]

Ben Alefosio No one can match their brute power? which is also why Hunt got KOd by JDS, Overeem and Miocic, oh but they were on "PEDs" right? Get out with the "no one can match our power/strength", there's always a Brazilian, American, Russian etc out there that can match and even out match Tuivasa, Pedro, Hunt etc.
