    I'm so excited to finally have an Indigenous Australian in the UFC, and what makes it so special, is that he is one of the best heavyweights in the division! I love seeing him represent us with our flag over his shoulders. And lets not forget his Samoan roots also! We have an awesome Samoan community hear in Sydney, and its really great that both the Indigenous and Samoan communities get to take so much pride in one of their own succeed at the highest level of combat sports! As much I'm just happy to see a brother succeed at a high level in what he loves to do, I can't help but take pride in being an Indigenous Australian when watching Tai do what he enjoys! Just like when I used to watch Cathy Freeman win GOLD in the Olympics, or watch Choc Mundine win his fights in boxing as the WBA Super Middle Weight Champion! I really hope Tia can go on to inspire a whole new generation of Indigenous Australians, and Samoan Australians to reach for the stars!

    DC huge fan from Beirut, Lebanon. Just want to say thanks for carrying yourself in such a humble and funny and loveable manner; even though you could act like the tough guy (and def could back it up with anyone). Its just nice to see someone who can destroy anyone in front of him, carry himself in such a humble way. Peace from the middle east my guy.

    As a Pacific Islander corn beef is one of our favorite can goods after SPAM. You see alot of us eat this breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We big bois from the Islands grew up on this when American soldiers introduced us to this such delicacy food. If we aint eating corned beef or spam we definitely eating some fish and taro. If you know, you know. Keep repping for us Islanders Tai' & Max. People around the world know us Islanders are fun to hang around and knock some heads when we have too. All love my brudda!! 🤙🏽

To get on top is one thing, to stay on top is another! Tai is an animal that is working his a$$ off! To go to AKA, Gil, and Abu Dhabi to work on your craft comes with huge sacrifices! There is many ingredients to this sport and wrestling is one of the main ingredients that will assist you to stay on top! DC looking forward to meeting you one day! You are doing awesome with this channel too! Good luck to all the men and women fighting on the UFC 271card! #FreeJoeRogan

    God I love this dynamic, I love the dynamic in all Cormiers interactions. He is such a fucking Alpha, he is so alpha that he has 0 to prove and 0 animosity or competition towards other males out of fear, so what remains is just pureness, sincerity and uplifting energy. You can see Tai is still a child and still growing into his personality but already he has amazing presence and a strong identity and recognizes real in Cormier and lets himself get guided. I love this shit. Ps. Tai should walk out with Fat Pat -Tops Drop and confuse the fuck out of the crowd, make them cheer for him.
