Tai Tuivasa Wants Junior dos Santos Matchup For UFC Adelaide

[Fahrenheit1221]

JDS by experience and just being the better fighter.

Rooting for Bam Bam tho. Just don't like his chances.

Everyone wants JDS after his most recent performances.

It’s like watching that WMMA video of that pro chick vs a soccer mom.

It'd be a good fight but my money is on JDS out boxing Tuivasa

I mean, Junior IS coming off of a very long layoff and hasn't been able to put together multiple wins since 2012. He's been alternating wins and loses since the first loss to Cain and he has to make up some ground after the USADA suspension. Beaten Ivanov was nice, but I don't think it puts him directly back in top 5 competition. Tai is young, hungry and undefeated. I think this fight does a lot for both guys.

I don't disagree with you, I just think they are better options for him. By "better" I mean both more lucrative and rankingwise more meaningful. If I were JDS I would angle for a third fight with Stipe, or maybe try to avenge his loss to Overeem.

Tuivasa has a lot more to gain from this fight and thus it is not surprising that he is the one campaigning for this fight. Personally I'd like for him to fight Ngannou next.

The fight makes absolute sense.
