UFC 252 free fight: Junior Dos Santos hands Tai Tuivasa his first career defeat

BAD MMA News — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 03:35:55 +0000

Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos reminded everyone why he’s no stepping stone. Dos Santos (21-7 MMA, 15-6 UFC) faced formerly unbeaten Tai Tuivasa in the main event of UFC Fight Night 142 in Australia, where he was determined to take out the surging contender on enemy territory. Tuivasa charged at Dos Santos and put the pressure on him right off the bat. Dos Santos remained calm, and utilized his jab to keep Tuivasa at bay, but “Bam Bam” did a great job of cutting him off

Since the early days when the sport was anything but a mainstream endeavor, the MMA industry has thrived and survived through various websites, forums, and – perhaps most importantly – social-media platforms. Fighters interact with fans, each other and many more through the likes of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders get a deeper look into the minds of the athletes. Following Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 142 in Adelaide, Australia, several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners or family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.

However, the same can’t be said for Pedro (7-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC), whom “Shogun” Rua (26-11 MMA, 10-9 UFC) TKO’d in the third round of the light heavyweight co-headliner.

Mark Hunt may not have gotten the result he wanted in the final fight on his UFC contract, but his entrance did include a memorable send-off in front of the Australian fans at UFC Fight Night 142 in Adelaide, Australia. With some help from his friends, Hunt entered behind a traditional Maori haka dance before his undercard bout against Justin Willis. Goosebumps. @MarkHunt1974 #UFCAdelaide pic.twitter.com/s3huxjVC8l — UFC (@ufc) December 2, 2018 And not to be outdone, ahead of his main event fight against former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos, Australia’s own Tai Tuivasa had a remarkable walkout, as well, to honor his Aboriginal background. This is amazing
