- Despite looking like a burger exterminator, Tai Tuivasa manages to send UFC heavyweights into oblivion. With no foundational martial arts training he ascended to the top of the most prestigious weight class. Today we take a deep dive into the career of the Australian brawler, who traded bright prospects in rugby for a harsh prizefighter life.

Just FYI, the "shooey" is Daniel Ricardo's invention I believe. Cheers
Do one on Andre arlovski 🙏
that sad sack mcsweeney wearing his ultimate fighter shorts lol omg
Aussie media does nothing for this elite sportsman.
“Besides looking like a burger exterminator” you didn’t have to do him like that💀😂
That and "penetrated his fast food armor" made me laugh
I read your comment as he said it 😂😂
I been called the pizza exterminator so I know the feeling.😂😂😂😂
Lies again? Trash Garbage Rubbish USD SGD
He’s one of those fighters you don’t care if he wins or loses you know you’re in for a treat just being there!
No shit I was sad when they let him go he pressed the envelope for sure
literal heavyweight gaejthe
Exactly right.
Lol yup
Really? Your life must really suck.
It's rare to see that kind of sportsmanship from a brawler like that! His type of fighter are not usually the ones who are able to deal with losses that gracefully, it's really nice to see.
That's not true. Brawlers love to fight. They're there just to throw hands win or lose.
You, sir, are what we call a BOT
@@zoomorphic3317 You kidboy, are what we call beta
What a load of rubbish you speak, just look at Kimbo slice what are the nicest guys you could ever meet?
It's called being Australian
He looks like a genuine fun person to be around. Wish him all the best.
"If I can spar with Hunt, who am I to be afraid of"? True that.
Sergei pavlovich apparently
@@ethanramsajan3145 even then he was not afraid
@@zachariahshaw3837 he meant that he should have been. Tho i doubt It would have made It better
@@superrobertocable a healthy dose of fear might have made a difference for sure , good point 👍
Guys,
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
This man is the archetypical brawler: Not too streamlined, not too refined but as sturdy as a bridge and as strong as a bull. If that isn't enough, though, when it's time, he's capable of firing off a barrage of straight accurate haymakers that can simply beat even the big guys to the ground...incredible.
Facts but ya gotta give props to his teacher mark hunt
He hits like a bulldozer but his hits aren’t 100% accurate. Just accurate enough. He is also a monster of pure chaos! He is a good man and a strong power house!
He is very strong but still inexperienced, the match with Cyril proved it, technique overcame sheer power… not that Cyril isn’t powerful, but he technical skills and expertise sealed the deal!!
He is the new Roy "Big Country " Nelson . Carrying on the proud tradition of a beer belly and walrus like physique with the ability to hit like a truck .
@@Snakeeyes1111 Amen.
You don’t see vicious elbows and knees like that too often especial from the heavyweights. Dudes athleticism is insane
You can tell Hunt trained him, and he throws cannonballs and wicked kicks.... just brutal force. If he learns some ground game he would be terrifying. A true scrapper in every sense.
that and some defence standing up theres so much blows you can take to the head before getting knocked out even if you have a iron face
@@DangerZone200 Even the man with the Iron Chin knows that. Hunt always fought for so long like his chin was invincible until it wasn't and Manhoef knocked him out.
Hunt’s philosophy is defense first! love watching Tai bc he rlly tries to minimize damage taken
Talk about being naturally gifted, my man"BAM-BAM" is definitely the living blueprint. Secondly having the legendary Mark Hunt, as a mentor,is the nothing short of great Karma. God bless everyone involved with this upload.
@Shone Marcus👍

@@MA-URAG_na_MORO instead of wasting your time and especially mine. I strongly suggest, in the future, you use those natural gifts to make a positive comment, instead of lurking on Alpha males comments youngblood. I really hate treasure trolls, that aren't of the opposite sex. As a man, it's not a good look to seek another's attention with weird shilznit.
@@MA-URAG_na_MORO of course there's power, but gifted is something completely different
@@fhtuna he just got his contract back.. the Frenchmen had a great game plan. A little bit of discipline and bam bam would bang out the best of them.
Tai's sportsmanship at the end was pure class. Hope he wins the belt one day
Both showed great sportsmanship in that match. Great match to watch too.
No chance
@@wesone7429 never say never
He is no where near championship contender.
@@wmwm2194 of course he is, he could knock anyone in the roster out with one punch if it lands, and his skills and speed are excellent
As a huge MMA fan who's been there since UFC1, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this guy. Fighters like him make me want to watch. It's 25% about his fighting skill, and 75% about who he is as a person.
It's the heart in the good fighters that truly shines!
Inspiring. This man loses in the end just like a true champion. A great life lesson for all. Graciousness in defeat. Way to go champion! Thx for video.
What a sportsman! Gracious and dignified even in a loss! Good onya Bam Bam !!!
Over rated Aussy loser vastly over rated not tested and when he does, going down 0
tRUE
My mama was even respectful to Hardy, who hits women. He left that out in there shit talking, but as soon as Hardy said something negative about Tai’s win, Tuivasa replied “He’s just mad he can’t beat anyone that isn’t a much smaller woman.” He is pure class, but you shouldn’t push the man’s buttons if you have dirty laundry lmao
You wouldn't say that if it was your car.
Gracious is not the word I was looking for .But my God, is hé effective ! What a mean machine . But I'll never be a fan of this brutal fighting sport. It's Just too brutal and ugly . But I'll admit these guys like Bam Bam and Paddy are brilliant .
Your channel has become one of my favorites. Like mini documentaries, very well done. I binged all your videos after finding these. Please keep up the fantastic uploads.
it's literally a Russian channel redubbed in english lmao
Yeah I'm just growing on it and new to it myself!
The way he holds the head during the elbow at 17:10 to make the head stay still and his brain slosh around is just brutal.
I haven't seen such an entertaining fighter in a long time. And such an likeable underdog that drinks beer like all of us. So relatable. But also so unrelatable as he knocks out such beasts. I love him. I would drink about 20 beers with him.
drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God
@@artbyrobot1 ohhh no i was looking forward to hanging out with fun people like you for eternety
@@moritzbierdimpfl7233 you will after your period of correction in hell is done, supposing you fail to repent in this life.

@@Praise___YaH That's a fairy tale my dude
This dude rules. No formal training. Just got insanely good at fighting. Also, that waiting on his opponent to almost recover before delivering the flying knee was so smart. That little stutter completely threw off his defenses. So sick.
He's had a lot of training 😂
Did you watch the video? He has lots of trainung lol
"No formal training" lol what?!
You can't be that good without formal training.
Dude, you slow or something?
That sept 22 Tai vs Ciryll fight singlehandedly made me a newfound total fan of MMA. never liked fight entertainment prior. Went over to my buddys house drank beer and was blown away by the dynamics and strongsuits each fighter had, and here I am watching Tais legacy
He honestly shows great restraint. As soon as he sees his opponent is lights out he doesn't hurt them anymore while they're defenseless. Most fighters will feed them another 4 free fists until the ref jumps in. I think he would've beaten peter graham in his first fight if he'd pressed the attack, but i've only seen this much. It's incredible for a guy of his size to be throwing those flying knees so high and hard.
These mauri's are gentle giants and the majority are Christians who go to church every Sunday. I live where tai is from and these people never start fights.
@@royaldecreeforthechurchofm8409 He's samoan/polynesian but hundred percent agree with you mate
This is what makes a person want to see more and more of fighters who accept a loss stay focused and keep it moving!
Hell of a fighter there, that's for sure.
His strikes are deceptively powerful.
His punches & elbow strikes along with his leg kicks are awesome to watch connect. His sense of having a good time and his sportsmanship are outstanding.
this guy dropped cyril gane THROUGH HIS GUARD. ngannou couldn't drop gane in 5 rounds...

No sir, it is not
Genesis 2:7
Tai's dedication and years of humbly studying the ancient art of Brewkwondo certainly paid off.
Lmao Brewkwondo hahahaha 😅
The story of a warrior. I wish him fantastic glory!
No matter how skilled you are there's always gonna be someone better than you. Those knee kicks are savage throwing his opponents off balance or to the canvas. Good fighter
Always so well narrated!! Thank you!
Superb watch. Thank you!
A wonderful thing with Tai is that he would be just as happy back in Australia throwing a rugby ball around a park with family and friends and getting by out of the limelight. When you have a free mind and are fighting for the love of it it's all good fun. Evolved hugely as a fighter. Never going to be a submission specialist but with his power and striking skills he only needs reasonable ground defense. Typically modest Aussie lad !😎👍
You talk as if you know the guy and what makes him happy, but he Didn't stay in Australia and play footie! He left and went fighting. kinda sums up your whole BS comment as just what it is! Now you're on quiet!
Yeah but then the UFC would have no shoeys
cool story bro
He didn't play rugby though.
@airmech404 He was talking about throwing a ball in a park with family. That's not referring to a career choice but a state of mind.
So that pulls the rug under your argument.
Bam Bam seems like an extremely free spirit. And that character trade can give you trouble in a teamsport.
That Hardy KO makes him forever a legend
cap
Pretty sure it was the lewis ko
@@InfiniteMind9 no cap hardys a woman basher and tai closed that eye tf up looked like he had a golf ball stuck in that mf
This videos has done him so many favours! Never heard of him before this, was a great watch keep it up
What true sportsmanship! The guy is a real brawler. Just good at fighting and tanks blows like a champ.
that rugby charge into an elbow is devastating. and those leg kicks, damn
If he realizes that his kicks is his signature k.o he's unstoppable.
This guy is amazing. Stay humble and kind.
Awesome upload man
Best 20 minutes on youtube this year! Props to this throwin Samoan, and he is a force to be reckoned with!
Dude has a lot of heart and a lot of power
And a lot more fat
Respect for this guy! He came to fight and enjoyed every single minute of it!!!
Bam!!!
Respect he give to his opponents is AMAZING 💪💪
Love this channel
18:16
,,The french man’s front kicks pierced the opponent’s fast food armor”
Im dead lol 😂
i lol'd at this too🤣
Same
Gladiators ate barley and beans to gain a layer of fat ..their final defense/armor
@@patrickjorda5523A layer, not 25
Tai is one of the quickest, most athletic heavy weights….ever. His punch accuracy is devastating. Leg kicks..devastating. He is easily the most entertaining HW on any roster. I hope he is around for a long, long time.
Drink beer = his done
He won't be around long... he's dedicated to not being dedicated. Waste of talent.
His out of gas..he need to stop drinking beer
He is not all that accurate and not so quick. Just got ko'd again. He is very entertaining and has very heavy hands. That alone won't get him anywhere near a title. I like him but he needs to do better.
THAT ELBOW THOUGH
So proud of this fellow Aussie! 💪
That double kick to a knee and an uppercut combination was so perfectly done.
I’ve never seen this man fight, but he is now my favorite athlete! Let’s GOOOOOOOO!!!!! 🎉🤪
You guys put out some incredible content.
This is what the the UFC needs more of. A fighter who doesn’t run his yap and goes out and just puts his heart on th3 line. Win or lose he just wants to fight and have a good showing and that’s so respectable in this game.
Great athlete indeed and down to earth dude. Hope he becomes champion one day.
As an Aussie, I am proud of all he's achieved. Great video mate!!
Even proud of the fool shouting Eshay? hahahah what a loser. Doesnt matter how much money you make you cant buy class. this guy will never have any.
Yeah same here
Always Samoan, Tongans, aboriginal and Maori bringing aus to the map. hardly ever A white dude lmao
@@AstrixCloud Because white man was made for a higher purpose than bashing skulls. You think you can write comments on the internet because of Tonga and Maori scientists and Nobel prize winners? LOL. Now go back to McDonalds cause I feel like a need some juicy big mac and I DOUBLE DARE you try not to serve me like a king and Im calling your manager punk !

No wonder! Rugby and Aussie football...those players are gladiators. Imagine...120kg sprinting, brawling...and that 90 min straight...no padding, no helmet...real men!
rEaL mAn 🤪
Football is 90 minutes of pretending you`re hurt. Rugby is 80 minutes of pretending you`re not.
@@burningpentagram666 true 😂😂
It's actually 80 minutes... but 80 minutes of miner to major car crashes that the average man would probably die from 3 or 4 tackles
This is one of the favorites for me that you've done. Thx for the hard work and a great watch.
Bam Bam! Keep moving and grinding USO! God bless brother!
I'm a casual runner. I do half marathons.
Sometimes I'll use beer to carb up. Not the day before, but the day before the day before. The day before I'll be slightly hungover but full of carbs. Being hungover makes me a little extra tired, I'll spend the day hurting slightly but relaxed the night before a race I'll sleep like a baby. The next morning I'll be rested, ridiculously carbed up, ready to run 13 miles and still feel like I have gas left by the time I cross the finish line. I'm starting to get too old to drink all the time, I'm not in my early 20's anymore (was a bad idea even then haha), so I just drink strategically :)
I am amazed how for Cyril Gane made it look so simple with class, for him it was just like a walk in the park!! 👍
Yup, didn't even look like he was trying by the end
Because he was fighting a guy with no martial arts foundation 😂😂just like the Diaz brothers . Jon Jones would take Cyril Gane and Tuivasa for a walk to the park and both of them would be on leashes.
@@deepinthemangroves208 Jon Jones is one of my top favorite champs, and he would probably beat Cyril Gane… but, that’s not relevant to the topic at hand. 🙄🙄🙄
A walk in the park where you get dropped lol
@@deepinthemangroves208 Díaz brothers "no martial arts foundation"!?....🙄wtf?
that "not-so-Slim-Shady" line caught me like a Tuivasa right hand lmfao!!!
Respect! Good fighter, great sportsmanship!
3:20 I'm as impressed by his control to stop ( see he pulls his follow up) after that elbow strike .. as that elbow strike itself.
18:27 Mandem tanked a high kick and still goes in swinging. What a beast!
It connected so hard
The Guy BRINGS IT EVERY DAMN TIME! One Of The BEST EVER!
This is great I'm glad I got to watch this
Wow ive never heard of this fighter before this video but what a road he's been on! Good for u my man!
I knew gane was gonna piece up shoevasa. But I became a fan when I seen the heart he showed in that fight.
Just imagine if he started at an earlier age. He would have maybe had one lost or a draw. He's like a combination of a humble, happy Tyson and Butterbean.
Didn't know who this guy was. Amazing story! Thx for this 🤙
I just watched this whole video. Straight fire 🔥
I could watch Cyril vs Tai over and over
True
Great profile video man! This guy is great. Going to be watching for his fights.
I love this sport, and Tai Tuivasa is one of my favorite fighters.
You've got to love him (from a french MMA fan who's got the deepest respect for Mr Tuivasa)
He got alot of heart💪🏾🙌🏾
Skilled strong fighter, who can take it as well as he can give it.
Tai Shoey-Vasa
You gotta love the guy, win or lose he puts on exciting fights.
Cyril was just teeing up on Bam-Bam, that was a clear display of a methodical fighter vs a brawler with a strong chin.
History has shown time and time again that the fighter does win that match-up in most cases.
As much as I love watching brawlers like Tank Abbott and Chuck Liddell, and Tai here, it's just not a style that has any lasting success in the octagon especially these days.
Spot on
@@fredrickfrederickson5246 power maybe, anyone can get lucky, but the skill is more important than the power... GSP for example- though his fights were terribly boring to watch at the end
A total master brawler, but really likeable. A gentleman of the fighting arts.
Great fighter! Love his fights!
Love watching this dude fight👍
Tai is who I think of when I hear the word "Heavyweight"
What a monster!
*EXACTLY* 😎👍
3:20 the way he held back that last punch tells you a lot about tai
But you didn’t see all the times where he did hold back? So I guess the one time he held back doesn’t really say that much.
Before he lost his purity
I love this guy. He's sooo entertaining and hilarious.
i love the elbows out of a clinch, hes quick with them too
Let's be honest though.
His leg kicks take so many blokes out
great channel
The man has a big HEART !
Love his way to fight.
BAM-BAM !
All of America and UFC love this guy he just is a superstar waiting to happen can't wait till it becomes champ.
Sergei Pavlovich is going to drop this dude
@@HonkeyKong54 Why be an agrivator?
@@HonkeyKong54 no one is immune to involuntary snoozing from being chonged by a Tui bomb. All it needs is one and your claim is not such a sure thing
Hes not gonna be the Champ... Ever.
in what world do you ever see him beating Francis?
that was alotta fun. thanks.
Great character, tough as nails with a haymaker right hand. Love to watch him fight⚡🔥⭐
Big Respect to Tai Tuivasa and thank you Vote Sport.
Made me love this man in 20 minutes. Amazing
What a humble classy guy way ta get her done Tui nothing but respect for you and safe travels to you and yours…👍🏻
💯 Tuivasa portrays how most Samoans are, heart of warriors that fight till the death. 👊🏼🦁🇼🇸
wow that flying knee though perfect timing no cap unbelievable for a big boy this man is dangerous
Could you imagine taking one clean shot from this guy to your dome? No you cant. He is undoubtedly an elite heavyweight contender.
Love his power and passion
Can’t wait for a huge comeback from this guy. Cardio training and he’s an even better beast.
