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.”ADVERTISEMENT

Tai Tuivasa may return against Derrick Lewis
‘Bam Bam’ has destroyed his last four opponents via a knockout, three of them in the first round. As he is on a knockout run, he has set his sights on the UFC knockout king Derrick Lewis. And it seems like the UFC will soon grant his wish.
Even though ‘The Black Beast’ is far ahead of ‘Bam Bam’ on the heavyweight roster, UFC is working to set up the clash between the heavyweight combatants at UFC 271: Adesanya vs Whittaker. The fight is expected to take place in Lewis’ hometown on 12th February.
