Aaron "TAUZEMUP" Tau. This is him raw. From Bucking Bronco to fighting Elijah Smith in the DWCS.

[@iban_warrior8949]

Everyone needs someone to look at them the way Tony looks at Aaron, like a proud granddad.

[@HTDSNZ]

It's how you come back that is remembered, more so than how you stumbled on the journey. The real ones still rid'n with you. Make NZ proud.

[@nottoday9223]

Comebacks normally come from people who have already done great things. He showed off and got battered and looked like a nob head. This guy isn't going anywhere 😂

[@HTDSNZ]

@nottoday9223 Actually, the greatest fail every day doing what they seek to master.

[@nottoday9223]

@HTDSNZ Nope. You have to comeback from greatest to start with else you're coming back from nothing. It doesn't make any sense and this guy isn't great what so ever and I can comfortably say he won't be great either the guy is a proper sausage with a stupid face tattoo

[@winstonmccarthy7271]

good luck brother - favourite fighter

[@bolobadang9459]

Chur brother that's the attitude. Keep at it you'll get there bro

[@taurusfilms.5658]

Great interview . Watching Elijah Smith fight you was seeing a level sharpness in him that was pretty epic he will be one to watch and great for the ufc and fans for the future , losing against him was what it was on the night and a shame only the winner went through you showed so much heart and came back to make it a nail biter of a fight ! . I hope the future the door maybe open for you in the UFC all the best for being in the moment . Tahiti is one magical place ! Life changer !

[@TheDOUBJT22]

TAUZEMUP alday baby!!! Im already excited for your next fight! 😛😛😛

[@eugenemaxwell5609]

Big ups bro. Kia kaha!!!

[@Raiiflux]

2:58 i thought i saw this during the video package that was playiing and had Tau's live reaction.. Looked like a bit of an adrenaline dump then a bit of a change in gears seconds later for the walkout. Good on ya for showing that heart though mean fight Tau! made me proud to be a Northland Hori

[@jim8790]

Awesome Aaron! Was interested to hear your thoughts on pre and post fight (and the actual fight obviously). My feeling is that could’ve been a blessing in disguise and just what you needed. If true, what a great time to have it i reckon. Awesome bro. Excited to see whats next for you.

[@Blackcrowking7]

first person to get a bonus in contender series! let’s go king!

[@franklinnanai2745]

My friends and I are looking forward to when Aaron gets the contract.

[@taintedtj]

good job Aaron, was such a good fight ( better than most of UFC 307 fights), you only truly loose if you never learn from it, sounds like you've grown just from the experience alone so cant wait to see you in there again

[@VanDeanCustoms]

Proud of you Aaron ❤

[@masonbarnes9161]

Kaikohekohe Hard Brotha!! #Tauzemup

[@christopherburton3899]

Mana hard arron within 12 months you will have that contract 💯

[@thebhoy8561]

Embarrassed ckb and nz. Underestimated his opponent and pissed off dana

[@Gorgemainframe]

I don't fully understand the lodgic behind the selection process even some people who win there fights get denied ive even seen Dana give both fighters a contract in the past I thought Aaron's fight would definitely qualify as one of those ones

[@gavinn1275]

You did yourself proud man 👏🏾👏🏾

[@Emantis81]

Aaron brother just get back on that horse and make yourself known. It was good fight you had and lessons from that will make you even better.

[@Scubasteez51]

Morena Tony 👍🏾 Rāhiri te Tūpuna 🫡

[@rata4878]

Couldve went both ways really, i think the connection with his oldman was the squeeze through the gap

[@Andy-w2e5q]

Nah bro it was the two clear rounds

[@TinekaJasonPalmer]

Good to see you are well ehoa.

[@iban_warrior8949]

Nothing changes stay confident stay humble. Let people looking in think what they want, easy to confuse confidence with arrogance. You know who you are and the real ones see it. Stand tall stand proud, can’t wait for what next.

[@thebhoy8561]

Cope

[@DavidPouaka]

Part of your journey for life you will fight in the ufc champion he whakapono kia koe e the Rangatira

[@karenhubbard1644]

Remember it's an OPPORTUNITY...NOT A CAREER. . Go again!!!

[@ooooooo679]

No way they won't put this guy on soon. Tbh thought it was a mistake to diss Christopher Columbus in the promo, maybe I.m over thinking it but that mightve triggered some headache potential in Dana. Why didn't u smash him as he was getting off the ground ?

[@TK_Type2]

shoulda coulda woulda bro. the only answer is to move forward and carry on

[@johnhepi3844]

Good on you

[@georgegraham4911]

Ego & humble witch one gets the win? balance

[@Sharkx006]

You got a lot to learn man

[@TheDOUBJT22]

Credentials?

[@abrown2130]

All day Tauzemup

[@dub_h7900]

Tauzemup 💪

[@BH8s]

One step at a time Tau

[@rosco1841]

Cuz you live and you learn.. gutted the fight didn't go your way but thats sport. 💯 i look forward to whats next for you in the cage

[@oliveira9137]

Like Dana White said you 31 years old 🫣🥴 Too much focus on the Pukana 😝🤪🤦🏽‍♂️ Think you missed the bus/opportunity😳 Come have a cold beer aye boy 🍺😎👍🏼

[@freedapigs]

Quick turnaround on the locals and u will 100% get the call if someone pulls out of a Aussie card

[@williamtagicakibau8950]

XFC LEVEL NOT UFC

[@SOUTHSIDESLIDERZZ]

RD 1 to Smith RD 2 to Draw end of bell , Smith Fatigued or Rocked RD 3 Tau Tau full mount Smith , told to get up Smith Failed takedown but Tau let him up , instead of the ground and pound to win the fight Smith was exhausted into the first 3 minutes of RD 3 but regain his strength in the last 2 minutes of the fight to be capable of returning his strikes Tau don’t need to change anything 5 RD Smith would be sleeping Unanimous BS

[@kingoftheworld53]

Championship fights are five rounds. One more round our guy wouldve won. His wairua benefited from the loss. CKB fighters need to start faster.

[@pithius2191]

titsup...that's how the UFC contract went

[@tangorealauditnz7706]

Ask him if he can make 125

[@UFCInvestor]

He needs to be more technical next time

[@danielstar6383]

I wouldn't want to fight him..

[@Andy-w2e5q]

Nowhere near UFC level. Talked way too much before the fight.

[@fordlarkins7883]

To much maori the way you hold yourself is good learn an come back stronger 💪 💯

[@fu8713]

fordlarkins7883 Tuddup ow bei lol

[@damowantswealth]

CANT KILL A WEED!!!! 😂😂😂

[@mikemichaels2914]

Dude needs to drop a weight class. To Short

[@KRM85]

Bro got way too cocky after fighting bums. Dana didn't like his arrogance either..too much pukana not enough fighting lol

[@tempo1768]

fr, was cringing at the way he acted even tho was a big supporter for him

[@pithius2191]

Exactly, that nonsense stare and smirk at the start of the fight..the arrogance...even in this interview. 03:11 Little wonder Dana said no...

[@fu8713]

KRM85 Pretty much you can tell Dana doesn’t like that bull shiit lol he seen many many many world class fighters he ain’t impressed by that bullshit lol Just go in and fight save it for when you win a fkn champion belt or something 😳🤷🏼‍♂️
