Tai Tuivasa fought Greg Hardy at UFC 264. Even though the latter rocked ‘Bam Bam’ in the first round, the Aussie quickly retaliated and landed a vicious left that knocked out Hardy in just sixty-seven seconds.

In a recent interview, ‘Prince Of War’ slammed Tuivasa for hyping up the win. He also claimed that his opponent “cowered out of the brawl.”

However, Hardy’s remarks didn’t sit well with the surging UFC heavyweight star. Tuivasa quickly took to his official Instagram and posted a video where he roasted the former NFL player.
