Tai Tuivasa planning for UFC comeback in 2026 after having his ‘lil break’
Tai Tuivasa is planning on making a comeback in 2026.
Tuivasa hasn’t fought since August 2024, when he lost a split decision to Jairzinho Rozenstruik, which was his fifth-straight loss. Since the loss, he has been taking time away from the MMA, but the fan-favorite is looking to return to the UFC as he reflected on the past year on Instagram.
