Tuivasa has shown incredible performances in his recent fights and is currently on a five-fight win streak.
Tai last fought against Derrick Lewis at UFC 271 and won the fight by knocking out Derrick in the second round. Tai delivered vicious elbows to Derrick and won the fight via knockout. Tuivasa is all set to face Cyril Gane on September 3. The event will be the first event of the UFC in France.
Tai Tuivasa’s MMA career has been growing rapidly and a win against Cyril might grant him a title shot against Francis Ngannou. However, Tai has revealed his plans after his MMA career. Tai told about his plans to become a pro wrestler after his UFC career and also said he wants to become like Rikishi.
Tai, in his interview with The ALLSTARS’s Fine Dining, told: “F—k yeah, I’ll be the new Rikishi. I’ll get my ass out. I love Rikishi, man. I grew up watching wrestling hard. My nana was a wrestling fan. She still does watch. She’s crazy about it. I remember when my uncle told me it was fake. I cried for ages. I used to think they were the hardest c—ts, you know what I mean? I used to watch and just be like F—k. Then when he told me it was fake I started watching it and being like, It’s not fake. Then after that, I couldn’t watch it again for a long time because I was heartbroken.“

“The greatest of all time”- Tai Tuivasa claims Jon Jones is the greatest MMA fighter of all time
Tai Tuivasa has claimed that Jon Jones is the greatest MMA fighter of all time. According to Tai, Jon Jones will beat Stipe Miocic in a heavyweight fight. Stipe and Jon are rumored to fight against each other in September, but no official statement has been released yet.
Tai Believes Jon Jones can bear Stipe because he is the greatest of all time. Tai, in his recent interview, talked about Jon Jones and said despite his acts outside the octagon, he is the G.O.A.T.
Tai said: “Jones is probably the best MMA fighter of all time. Doesn’t matter f****** [if he’s a light heavyweight or higher]. He’s still a d***head. He is what he is. I think he’s the greatest MMA fighter of all time, but if you’re an f****** idiot, you’re an f****** idiot. Hitting your missus or whatever, blah, blah, blah. I don’t know the story. Everyone’s got their own things. If you’re an idiot, you’re an idiot. That’s it. But he still is who he is.”
