Marcin Tybura Wants The UFC To Give Tai Tuivasa Another Fight

During the UFC Vegas 88 post-fight press conference, Marcin Tybura shared his belief that Tai Tuivasa has earned the opportunity to continue his run with the top MMA promotion (via MMAMania.com).

“I think there are other fighters who has more losses and UFC still keep them because they are funny to watch, and I think Ty deserves that because you know, he brings fun fights and fans love it,” Tybura told reporters during the UFC Vegas 88 post-fight press conference. “Whenever you put on a show, you should just have more opportunity for this one.”

“I think he still deserves a place to fight,” Tybura continued. “I know people are saying there has to be some kind of rule that if you have four losses, you have to go. I think everyone is different, and I see him still here. He deserves one more shot.”

Tuivasa hasn’t emerged victorious inside the Octagon since February 2022 when he stunned Derrick Lewis with a second-round knockout. It was the biggest win of the Sydney native’s pro MMA career, but he has hit a snag. In the past, Tuivasa has said that he’s had his back against the wall before and he isn’t afraid of adversity. We’ll see if he gets another chance under the UFC banner.
