Tai Tuivasa finds himself in a rough spot after UFC 305.
Tuivasa (15-8 MMA, 8-8 UFC) dropped his fifth fight in a row when he lost a split decision to Jairzinho Rozenstruik (15-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) on Saturday’s main card at RAC Arena in Perth. Judge Howie Booth was relieved of his duties after awarding Tuivasa a 30-27 scorecard, which turned many heads.
Tuivasa took to “X” to react to the loss.
“F*ck. What a sport. I put my all into this camp and didn’t come away with the win. Big love to all my fans I put my all into this didn’t get the treats. My bad love you all the real ones Live to fight another day. AUSSIE FANS I LOVE YOU C*NTS BEST IN THE BIZZO .”
Tuivasa was hoping to find new life after relocating to Dubai, where he was once able to amass a five-fight knockout streak – including a finish of former title challenger Derrick Lewis. The 31-year-old fan favorite has had an inconsistent run in the octagon, putting together three wins followed by three losses, then five wins followed by five losses.
