Tai just such a sincere dude, calling it exactly how he sees it...the best kind of fighter....no trash talking, disrespect etc....all his actions are in his fights not words.
As already said, as french, we really apreciate you Tai you'r a respectable opponent who is, humble, fun, and ensure show happen. Win or lose we'r gonna still love you ;)
@@jacobpalmer9912 but when you actually look at his resume he couldn't put down guys with suspects chins like JDS and Arlovski toke volume to beat no offense a guy who was a bit of a tomato can Cyril Asker, it even toke him volume for a tko finish for Struve who has a suspect chin, the guy is more of a volume finsher than a 1 punch ko artist, but everyone at heavyweight technically has power anything can happen
Right... He can talk about the just another fight and money woodewoo w.e. he needs to worry about ciryl embarrassing his career which is very possible. I'm scared for him. The facts are... Ciryl is super technical. Has incredible wind. Is as powerful as fast and will come at tai from angles he's never seen. Tai is a slugger praying for an overhand right to land... Technique will beat strength in a technician vs. slugger match up on paper
Yep. This is WHY he will be Champ. Greg Norman (Legendary Golfer) always said if you don't putt the ball hard enough it will never go in the hole. Tai, unlike many other fighters, creates the opportunities for knockouts BECAUSE he's willing to step all the way into the striking zone and actually throw.
@@sunwheels tai is not ciryl though. He is 100 times more technical then Lewis lol. Lewis gasses in about 2 minutes, and just relies on the fact that tired or not if he touches you it melts people. But sure I think gane has the advantage for sure but you can never just count this guy out, he is on a big streak for a reason and he’s not just this brawler either. Gane is not untouchable or infallible, he ducks his head a lot and he is susceptible to uppercuts
@@sunwheels well yeah I doubt he will too, but still, gane isn’t this invincible guy. He has weaknesses. He tends to really avoid power hitters as well, and sure with Francis who was fighting on one knee those jerky head movements and way he leans and moves his head and Lewis he avoided those big shots, but still. I think he points tai and picks him apart but I wouldn’t even be that surprised if tai found that shot. I don’t think it’s a good chance of it happening but I don’t think e we should write him off entirely either
Just because Tai is visibly holding fat doesn't mean he's not a world class athlete. Just because gane ate shots from ngannou doesn't mean he's going to eat a combination from Tai the same. He's vicious and has the build to really hurt with uppercuts.
I can imagine both guys getting knocked out in this one. Not saying it's gonna happen, but.. it very well could either way. And it would stir up the community even more if Tai gets Gane.
@Lebrow dont do that bro, i train in the same gym of Ciryl and he is very better un wrestling, ciryl cant lose this fight. Tuivasa is a bad grappler. Ciryl Gane by decision or submission
I am sure Tai has been underestimated a few times while out with the boys at the pub. Looking forward to seeing if he can corner & cut the cage off the big man. Tai is definitely willing to walk through the fire more then any heavyto let the hands fly which makes him extremely dangerous. The man’s attitude is on point. The style contrast makes this a must see fight.
Dana not putting his overseas fighters on comfortable flights. And still he'll act defensive and tell people to mind their own business. It's a little disgusting, frankly.
How many times have we seen great fighters who actually have the skills to do massive damage NOT pull the trigger, and then the fight becomes a what-could-have-been flop. Tai ain't that sort. He's not scared to throw down with Cyril, or anyone (eg. Greg Hardy, Derrick Lewis), which is why he'll eventually get the knockout.
Tai will get it done for that reason. I can't see him letting gane get away with touching him for 3rds. He's going to put it on gane. Tai is made for firefights gane, I'm not sure.
Tai like all heavy weights have a chance of ending any fight but gane moves like a Light weight, hits like a truck with both hands and legs, I hope Tai brings his best Bam Bam on the night.
whoever hired that female reporter messed up, by far the worst questions in all 4 of the interviews I've watched, constantly asking irrelevant questions that the fighters clearly do not want to answer
i hope so Lori.. i hope im wrong but i see it been a point fight,, and im a huge Tai Tui fan but i dont think he can win this one.. i think he will get out struck & taken down BUTT lol i hope im so so wrong.. cuz i am a a huge Tut fan
Tai is a beast ,ask the others who he slept , Cyrill better be on more than a bicycle he better be on a motorbike , or we gonna see another shoey ,,lol
Tuivasa is a bit too slow for Gane in my opinion. Not a good match up for him, as Gane will keep him at range and wear him down. Ngannou did a wonderful job of closing the space on Gane, not sure Tuivasa has the speed to do that.
Each camp sets up the fighters differently. Tai is quick. Real quick for his size actually. I think Tai has huge potential to get in close and make it dirty. Gane excels in his kicking game. I think Tai can stop him for sure
Francis was hopping around on one leg and wasn't able to pounce like he normally does, plus he was a bit hesitant to engage given his previous training experiences with Gane. Gane can't evade for 5 rounds and sooner or later there'll be TWO elbows (BAM BAM) waiting for him.
@@lolly_bread that's what I'm thinking. Gane will struggle to back Tai up. Tai moves well and will close the distance. Some elbows and uppercuts. Tko round 1
Tai just such a sincere dude, calling it exactly how he sees it...the best kind of fighter....no trash talking, disrespect etc....all his actions are in his fights not words.
I agree. It’s hard not to like him!!

That's why I like that man so much! Just a classy man who made it from the bottom to the top

How can you not like this guy.
As honest a player as you're ever likely to come across
Let's Go Tai!

Вперёд 🇦🇺 ,верим в победу 👊🏼
Amen to that, the guy is a fucking G

LET'S GO Tai "Bam Bam" Tuisvasa!!! Watched your debut amd journey!!!
Wishes from the USA
What a nice guy. Was nice to hear someone speaking so great of his opponents. Classy❤💯🎯
he really is very hard to not like, seems pretty down to earth and focused.....lesgo Bam Bam.....
@@jonny5isalive353 I like both of them but yes super down to earth. Refreshing
Repect is the word,at the end of the day theirs only 2 of them in there.May the best man win,win or loose ufc wins.
don't sleep on Tuivasa, he's got that death touch.
I disagree he doesn't have alot of 1 punch knockouts he does have alot of volume knockouts, but it is heavyweight anything can happen

And hes only just reaching his prime
This guy reminds me so much of mark hunt. He is like the next-generation mark hunt. love it.
His personality, he is so cool. Unusual for a fighter. Best of luck, Sir
My heart says Tai wins this but my brain goes for Gane, he is just too tecnical
Right... He can talk about the just another fight and money woodewoo w.e. he needs to worry about ciryl embarrassing his career which is very possible. I'm scared for him. The facts are... Ciryl is super technical. Has incredible wind. Is as powerful as fast and will come at tai from angles he's never seen. Tai is a slugger praying for an overhand right to land... Technique will beat strength in a technician vs. slugger match up on paper
My advice to tai would be... Be humble and enjoy the limelight... Bc after ciryl gane his push as a slugger is going to end in dramatic fashion
If he lose the heavyweight division gains another gatekeeper 😞 that’s not what he deserves
@@davidy2765 it's exactly what he deserves. His best prayer was to become a Roy nelson like fighter.
@@kylecompton9781 what mean wind
Peace be with u Tai.. good man, good heart, and good shoei, cheers
Tuivasa by flying triangle choke with 1 second left in the 5th round, bet the house on it!
Maybe just bet the house letterbox on that one ;)
CHAKDE TUIVASAAAA
@@lolly_bread Yeah haha
What happen buddy? Still wanna bet
@@Princetonx2 The fact that you don't realize the original comment was a joke is alarming.
Rocking gold rings like a BOSS!
Tai is not scared to get knocked out! Tai is next Heavyweight champion
Yep. This is WHY he will be Champ.
Greg Norman (Legendary Golfer) always said if you don't putt the ball hard enough it will never go in the hole.

Tai puts people out has the power. Cirl plays the point game and distance technical, will be interesting

Win or lose but he going out a dog fight,either him or Gane...
Makes sense that Paris. The cultural Mecca of the arts, has acknowledged the sport an art. I hope it hangs on display gloriously tomorrow
LET'S GO BAM BAM🔥🔥
Tai is just cool, honest and funny as ever!! Love watching his work and interviews😂
First time a fighter was honest about his game plan. Feels weird. You have to love the guy.
Shoeyvasa, wharra legend.
ALL THE VERY BEST TAI. Ia manuia lau taaloga. God bless you brother.🙏♥
' What's NOT to Love ? ... and IF ya don't ....
Then Fack Offf !!! '
🤣🤣🤣💥
“It’s not violent we just knock people out” 😆😂
I put all my money on a Tuivasa submission win. Is it gonna happen? Unlikely but if it does I’ll be rich.
Madman
@Lebrow dont do that bro, i train in the same gym of Ciryl and he is very better un wrestling, ciryl cant lose this fight.
Tuivasa is a bad grappler. Ciryl Gane by decision or submission
' ALL your Money ' ??? 💰💰💰🤔
DOUBT IT !!! 🤣
No you didn't.
What happened buddy?
Bam Bam is the man. Here to take heads off and stack bread.
This guy 😏 the more I see and hear him speak I just lov him more and more 😇👍 he is like 1 of the lads. So down to earth 🌎 and tells it how it is..
Tai is nice and smart guy! I like that! 😉👍
I'm betting big on bam bam this wknd
Reporter: "What is your game plan?"
Tai: *Pause*
Tai: "Ummm...go in there and punch 'em."
*lmao*
So hyped for this fight!!!!!!!
Gane is a wizard in the octagon, I think Tai is gonna have trouble finding range but who knows
Even if we will cheer for our boy Gane , nothing but respect for Tai and I hope he will go far in this game
"Its not violent, we just knock people out" 😂😂
Tai tuivasa : new brand of shoes ?!! Rock's brand 🤤 shoey time
My two all time favorite HW. Should be a good one!!
Tuivasa just got married I think. Good he finally get the family around as well.
Good luck tai

People seem to think he's not technical but his muay thai is legitimately good especially in the clinch.
Gane has great movement but in my opinion a fresh in shape Tai Tuivasa moves very well too. Tai could end up surprising a lot of people in this fight.
Bro tai's name is in death note already, having opinion doesnt change anything.
Love it uce just keep it real, go in and fight, wish you all the best Tai 💙💪💪
Good luck Tai!

My pick for the night
It’s not violent
We just knock ppl out
Bam bam💥 da don
Unfortunately i think gane will wrassle the shit out of him and win a decision or gas tai out, will be rooting for tuivasa tho one of my favs
same
No Wrestling required. Gane will Dance around the cage and piece Tuivasa up badly

Tai will pressure Gane and I don’t think Gane can handle it
Na dude
@@allmuzikk3686 we shall see
yea i understand nganou got the fear from miocic, then the lewis and gane fights were he is more calm but i think tuivasa still has that crazy style
Tai will get it done for that reason. I can't see him letting gane get away with touching him for 3rds. He's going to put it on gane. Tai is made for firefights gane, I'm not sure.
@13:35 'big Benders' meaning drinking and 'partying' all night before the fight start at 6:00am .
Best of luck mate ♥️👊
Tai’s gonna get inside and knock him out
Tai like all heavy weights have a chance of ending any fight but gane moves like a Light weight, hits like a truck with both hands and legs, I hope Tai brings his best Bam Bam on the night.
I wonder if Dona White is aware of the poor audio quality of these interviews...
whoever hired that female reporter messed up, by far the worst questions in all 4 of the interviews I've watched, constantly asking irrelevant questions that the fighters clearly do not want to answer
just the first four words were enough
Absolutely. She clearly doesn't belong here, let her go cover soccer or curling or some shit
Tai tuivasa👑💪
And that’s what will happen , Tai will dink him
Gonna be a great fight I think 🎯💯💪🏼❤
I know it's going to be a great fight
i hope so Lori.. i hope im wrong but i see it been a point fight,, and im a huge Tai Tui fan but i dont think he can win this one.. i think he will get out struck & taken down BUTT lol i hope im so so wrong.. cuz i am a a huge Tut fan

This ain't Track & Field pal.... THIS. IS. SPARTAAA!!!!!!
Tai is a beast ,ask the others who he slept , Cyrill better be on more than a bicycle he better be on a motorbike , or we gonna see another shoey ,,lol
Too many people are counting him out, cyril is really good but he doesn't have this chin, nobody does.
Who's going for the takedown first?
Tai is going to knock ciryl out cold can't wait to see you do a shoe in Paris.
I hope Stipe & Francis complete their trilogy.
I'd like to see Jon against any of the top 5, maybe a trilogy with the loser of Stipe Vs Francis 3.
alright/ALRIGHT HES REAL LIKE GUTTER REAL, & HES NOT A SLOW BORING FIGHTER U DA MAN TAI
Let's goo
I thought his hat said fat
Tai is going to win by KO

Why they always gotta ask what the gameplan is 😴😴
Reminder that he's facing a dude ngannou didn't wanna strike with
Francis blew his knee. Pretty hard to stand and trade when your leg isn't playing the game.
This dude gonna get jabbed with a blew out nose with other dude jogging around.
Cyril all the way
all these press guys think they're clever huh
I didn't know tai is so delusional till I heard him say he'd like to knock jon jones head off he can barely get past gane.
Rings , earing, shoes....this guy is crazy 🤣 can't trust him
Some of the question’s tho…. 😒
What’s about all those jewelry? Jesszz the Real champions dont care about things like that please Tai dont change keep it simple
He brought his family. Means he will lose
First one just give me tat
I think Gane is gonna wash Tai. Finish him. Just like Derrick Lewis.
Yeah, although Tai will probably put up more of a fight and has an amazing chin.
I think Tai is gonna knock gane out. just like derrick lewis
Tuavisa is right about Gane having a couple things to be wary of. I think Gane wins a boring fight and throws a lot of low kicks to keep Tuavisa back
Tai about to knock out Cyril big time if the fight stays on the feet. But very easy to see this going to the ground for the entire fight.
So casual
He probably thinks that hat was made for him, but doesn't even recognize it as a type-o.
lame joke buddy
