IDK sherbros but imo this is a big time underdog pick

Tai has destroyed fighters much better than this brawling bean pole

He’s been training overseas & has ko’d much better fighters than this inexperienced prospect who - granted has good kicks & a decent straight right- is inexperienced & leaves his head up in the air in every fight so far

If Tai is coming back for a payday then ok he’ll probably lose, but if he’s serious about a return - which I think he is - then he mops the floor with this HW James Vick

Tuivasa by KO RND 1

Tai was training with Ciryl a month ago or so so he is likely Bangkok ready. I think Tuivasa wins this too, Texeira has shown nothing that makes me believe he beats a Bangkok ready Tai.
 
This is a must-win for Taivasa. It's a decent underdog pick.
 
Put your money down on Tuivasa bud, the odds are good if you think he can win! ;)

The Tuivasa who lost to Gane, would beat a lot more HW in the division than lose to them.
I really like Tui. I still don't think that he hit his true ceiling but he's 33 soon and if he stays disciplined, I'd love to see him go again to max out his potential.
 
Tallison's only win to get ranked was Tafa. Bet the house on a Shoey.
Tafa is like a worse version of Tai so I could see this fight going the exact same way where Tallison just crowds Tai against the cage and finishes him
