Tai's Land - A Tai Tuivasa Story

He's beloved by the masses because of his carefree attitude and brutal fighting style but Tai Tuivasa is well aware of the task in front of him this weekend in Paris.
We followed 'Bam Bam' to Thailand for his training camp in the lead up to his title eliminator fight against former UFC Interim Heavyweight champ Ciryl Gane.

How can you not Love this Guy.... Cant wait to see him fighting for the Title !

[@NedsAustralia1]

You have to love his attitude and approach to the most brutal sport on the planet. He's focused and ready to get that title shot!

[@smelly.ballbag751]

First time I've seen him iam a big fan already 😳 😂 😕

[@Teyz1989]

Thats only if he beats gane and he is a beast

[@SeaThemHawks]

@@Teyz1989 just like what they said about lewis. how about you just give him his flowers for what he has done before he even fights the next fighter and the fighter after that.

[@juanmanu9652]

Top bloke, top entertainer and a hell of a fighter.. Ive been a big fan since I first saw him fight but Gane is an extremely tough opponent.. I'm praying that Tai gets the win.

[@buttface9434]

prob not. gane is just too good.

@@buttface9434 Luckily we get to watch and find out!

[@nvmm166]

@@buttface9434 gane let Francis wrestle him easy. Made terrible decisions on the ground, wouldn’t be surprised if tai takes him down, and also gane thrives in fights where he controls the pace, do we think tais going to sit there an kick box with gane for five rounds? He’s gonna make it dirty, much closer of a fight than the betting line has

[@randy1ization]

Gane has not been as impressive as I thought he would be. he cuts too much weight and looks very small at fight time. and very sluggish. no power.

[@thesadwolf]

Love Tai. He went from undefeated, to a 3 fight skid, to a 5 win tear. He's got the L's under the belt to help him grow and I think he's a serious threat in that division. His biggest challenges await!

[@_fightknight]

Dude's currently the most entertaining fighter on the roster. I never really though he trains that hard, But I see it now. I hope he wins this fight. With the heart that he's got, he has a good chance against anybody. Let's go Bam Bam💪💪👊🤛🤜✌

We Aussie's are extremely proud of what Tai's already achieved. He is so down-to-earth and humble, Cyril is a beast and Tai will need every ounce of heart to beat him in saying that.

[@markwhelan9887]

@@stephenwangondu3618 Yes we have Alexander The Great is a little thrashing machine who will not give in under any pressure the only way the Alex goes down is if someone knocks him out. And that my friend ain't no easy feat because he has a rock jaw and a head of concrete. He is on a winning streak that does not look like stopping any time soln. The undisputed champion of the world. Alexander Volkonovski. Ps I feel for Tai loosing to Cyril but like they say you learn from your mistakes and let's face it he miss hit Cyril and still sat him on his backside just imagine if that was a clean shot it would have been goodnight Ireen. As our Aussie One commentator says. So get back to the office Tai and before you know it you will be back having a new Shoey.
