Ranked heavyweight Tai Tuivasa and Marcin Tybura are set to shoulder the Ultimate Fighting Championship marquee on Saturday in Las Vegas.
square off in a fight that should be over quickly and definitively. There is not much in terms of stakes beyond the main event—the lone other ranked bout sees bantamweightsHeavyweight careers tend to have ebbs and flows, and Tuivasa currently finds himself trying to turn around from a clear down point. “Bam Bam” came to the UFC in 2017 as an interesting but raw prospect, a knockout artist whose deceptive athleticism allowed him to quickly overwhelm his opposition.
The heavyweight division typically centers around knockout power and durability, and Tybura has just about achieved the ceiling for a man who does not possess much of either, at least as far as the usual heavyweight level goes. Primarily a wrestler and grappler during a highly successful regional career, Poland’s “Tybur” made his UFC debut in 2016 and quickly ran into, which served as a lesson that there would be some heavyweights that Tybura could not push around.
