Tai Tuivasa is coming into this fight along with his back against the wall riding a five-fight losing streak. His last fight took place in Australia as well and he’s grow to be a staple for the house country fans to root for a possible viral knockout from him. Nevertheless, despite his last ‘split decision’ verdict, Tuivasa was out-struck 92-37 and was never really in a position to get his hands going from a striking standpoint.

Tuivasa also looked gassed by the top of his last fight, but his will to proceed swinging and trying for the knockout is what kept him competitive throughout the later rounds. While it might be late in his profession to start fixating on cardio and conditioning, Tuivasa will surely profit from having the ability to push the striking pace against a comparatively inexperienced opponent like Teixeira. We’ll see if he has any veteran moves hidden up his sleeve ahead of this one.

Tuivasa thrives on chaotic exchanges and so long as he’s in a position to land first, he stands a solid probability of knocking his opponent out before they will get to him. From there, expect Tuivasa to be extremely aggressive in chasing the finish and never allowing Teixeira back to his feet if he’s in a position to drop him at any point.

Following a powerful Round 1 knockout over Junior Tafa during his promotional debut, Tallison Teixeira got a rough wake-up call in having to face the knockout king of the UFC in Derrick Lewis. Clearly, Teixeira wasn’t cautious enough in closing the gap against a seasoned knockout artist like Lewis and got caught during one in all his entries. The loss must have been a humbling experience as Teixeira ought to be coming into this bout far more improved.

Standing at 6-foot-7 with an 83-inch reach, Teixeira towers over nearly all of his opponents and is in a position to throw hard punches excessive of many arm guards. His reach allows him to maintain a secure striking distance and although he is not probably the most athletic fighter within the division, his size allows him to dictate the pace if he can manage to stay composed and never rush his offense.

He’ll be fighting a similar-styled brawler to Lewis in Tuivasa, so we will expect Teixeira to be far more cautious in approaching his opponent throughout this fight. As a substitute of rushing in, he should look to throw his lead jab as a feeler with the intention to gauge whether Tuivasa will likely be willing to swing and extend himself with the intention to land his own counter punches.

Final Tai Tuivasa-Tallison Teixeira Prediction & Pick

The pop from the gang ought to be one in all the loudest for Tai Tuivasa as he makes a return to motion, however the circumstances and odds aren’t exactly in his favor given the recent run he’s been on. While the house crowd ought to be all of the added motivation he needs for a bounce-back performance, his recent showings have not given much confidence to back him in this case.

For our final prediction, we’ll roll with Tallison Teixeira to earn the win during this one. Tuivasa couldn’t do much against a taller opponent like Alexander Volkov and he’ll likely struggled against the scale of his opponent throughout this fight. Still, we’ll side with the entire over in rounds as Tuivasa won’t go down without no less than giving the house fans something to cheer about.
