I still can’t believe he took so many hits from Lewis then just started swinging back 🤯 Honestly one of the most entertaining fighters to watch
Absolute animal
@@UpTheCatters It’s so good to be from Australia and see our fighters doing so well. Hopefully they can do a card back over here sometime this year, heaps of Aussie/NZ fighters to build a stacked card too 🤞
Not even Francis wanted to bang with Lewis! Tai slept him
Entertaining, because you know any fight with him won't end in a decision.
stop hyping him up bro hes just gonna get knocked out by the predator
"I'm always down to get down" what a legend
He's a "legend" because he said what 99% of fighters say? Cornball 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@retiredtidepodeater3339 No he’s a legend because he backed that shit up.
@@illusion2438 My god why are some MMA fans so basic? He made the statement AFTER he knocked him out, so....
I'm going to let you figure this one out. ✌️
@@illusion2438 That account is a troll. Don’t waste your time
“I’m always down to get others to take a dive for my hype train”.
Tai is such a fresh breathe of air. Young, dynamic ko artist and most importantly so so likeable
Nah he's a fighter what's most important is his ability to fight.
@@KevinDFuller94 yes his abilities are top notch. That's what i said. He fits all the bills 👌
He is going to be a big star and blow up soon
@@Shozupz he’s already there
Young? I guess for heavyweight
Bro we gotta talk about the CHIN Tuivasa has, my god. Dude took some heavy shots from Lewis and then went on to KO him 🥶
Those were some mean punches 👊
Fucking ice..... ice cold
We from Sydney australia, we made out offf solidddd brickkkkk
@aloevv𖤐 Why are you gae?
CRACKED STREAM (1-0) DANA PINK (0-1)
That "whoever, whatever.." is one of the coolest octagon interview moments of all time. The man knows he'll fight anyone regardless of how high people carry the elites of the division. One of my new favourites.
Dude is the new Mark Hunt. Walk off gangster!
There was so much power generated into that elbow strike by Tuivasa that koed him which is very rare.
Nothing rare from a islander especially a poly
Actually 💯🔥
Watch Johnny walkers elbow 🥵
Nah derrick lewis got kod like that when he fought Matt mitrione!
@Mystic Editor fr. he took like 4 punches straight while getting up against the cage and wasn’t fazed. bro got that mark hunt chin
When Tai took Lewis hits I knew he was going to win!
@aloevv𖤐 how?
@@hitmanyurmumsass racist elbows
Robbed of his soul
@aloevv𖤐 LMFAOO nigga he literally face planted tf you even taking about?? 😂
@aloevv𖤐 without a doubt judges are clearly on the payroll
And I thought this was an unfair fight for Tuivasa. Was under the impression that Lewis would destroy him. Yet, this is MMA.
True dat.
Bam bam can bang
Not me I think he's being slept on. I had him winning
Nothing suggested going into this that Lewis would destroy him wtf you on about?
Well don't know tbh what made you think the fight to be unfair. Both are knock out specialists.
Was down at the Pub here in Australia watching the fight and the place erupted when Tui got the KO..
What a legend
Fucking oath bro same at the pub i was at swear the old birds were going wild too
Must have been a great feeling
@@kuyacross mate it's moments like that, that you watch UFC for. What a moment it was
Hes a total disgrace to Aussies. Fta and essay crap. Putting up gang signs. Guy still acts like a 15 yr old try hard. But ppl forget those things as long as they get entertained because they have no morals lmao. Facts 👍
@@rayromano6249 shut up
Respect to Tai for not even attempting to land another shot after he saw derrick was out. He easily could've thrown a couple more in there
He's a good guy, and chooses not to mess up the others mind, unlike a certain guy who hits harder than a ford escort, but sprints faster than the ref just to land some unanswered hammerfists on those who did not earn them
It wouldn't matter if he did. The fight isn't over until the ref pulls you off.
@@Eyeofthetiger69 You're son of a father
@@alexsantimano6443 R u referencing to ngannou
Derrick fell face first completely unconscious into the ground. Shit was so obvious he was out 😂😂😂😂
From looking like he was going to be finished at the end of the 1st to coming back like that was awesome!!!
He got that samoan power
@@user-ic5xq8oc9z Also THAT chin. How did he took all those power right hand of Lewis?! I'm amazed.
@@user-ic5xq8oc9z Just like Hunt lol
"Houston, we have a problem"
-- Derrick Lewis
@aloevv𖤐 goddamn, you’re super salty 🤣 replying to every comment. Black beast got put to sleep. He’s okay
They give Derrick Lewis way too much homefield opportunities.
Tai will have a problem if i catch him on the street
@aloevv𖤐 you are everywhere in comment section other videos too troll
@aloevv𖤐 🤓👆 GUYS ITS OK IM ACTUALLY TROLLING XD
Never thought derek could be knocked out like that , that elbow was something man. Tai's a beast 💯
@aloevv𖤐 robbed of his consciousness
2 Derek's got knocked out today, which one are you referring to?😁
@aloevv𖤐 when single moms have their children all grown up 😂
@aloevv𖤐 your mother was robbed of a son.
Matt Mitrione took Lewis out in 41 seconds of the 1st round before
How in the actual fuck did Tai take so many clean shots in the first round and come back to do that in the second. Derrick lewis hit curtis blades once with an uppercut and he was practically dead, Tai just came back like "fuck you mate, lemme show you some real shit"
**eats shots while getting up*
"Aye cunt, let's swang and bang then!"
zero clean shots, watch the replay and the spots. but he deserved to win
@@reypalomo4257 he didn't show much lmao... R U not entertained 😅😅😅
Curtis walked straight into that uppercut, BTW.
those are not clean shots when tai is on the ground it looks good and I also thought its lights out that moment but no, in slowmo replay it aint clean but still tai is tough I bet other fighters would get ko’d there easily
Tai tuivasa comeback is one of the greatest in ufc history.. He almost got cut from ufc after his loss in ufc 243 izzy vs rob 1 card ... After than won 5 fights all by knock out.. today he made no 3 contenter Derrick lewis face plant in the same izzy vs rob card
I love how when he got tagged a few times and didnt try and cover and evade, he turned and threw down. Most fighters would cover up and just take the hits and hope they can recover. His legs kicks are something else aswell. Stipe would be a great next fight.
Stipe needs to fight Jon, I'd say Tai vs Gane.
Tai is good bro but if he fight someone up his rank and got high skill tai gonna get ragdoll i believe
@@rexoni2512 Gane would absolutely dominate him just like against lewis.
@@rexoni2512 Nah Gane picks him apart. There's no one to fight for the belt right now. If not that, then he should wait for the winner of Blaydes-Daukus
Bam bam can bang after Lewis’s first flurry he felt tai’s power and gave bam bam respect
Interview was perfect, according to me. Gave me chills in the end. Fight was the fight of the night.
The first time I ever seen the phrase "according to me". Must be an indian.
@@ravagethelegend6217In my opinion is what I meant. And yes, I am Indian. How did you guess?
@@ravagethelegend6217 what are you on homie
@@ninadsbhatt100 Indians must say " According to me" a lot
@@ravagethelegend6217 "first time I ever seen the phrase" 🤡
Tai was the only "underdog" that I bet on all night. I f#%king knew he had it in him! Lewis almost had him multiple times... CRAZY FIGHT!! LETS GO TUIVASA!!
God damnit I knew it too!! Just wish I bet more than I did lol
If you ever land a solid clean punch on a Polynesian and you don't finish him
F*cking Run.
For real 🤣 Swang and Bang runs in their blood
Best comment 😂😂😂😂
Izzy just beat Whittaker.
So no
@@websurfer8670 by kicking his leg lmao
@@Hacker-orwot1 Izzy always does that yet only Jan could avoid them leg kicks, Izzy's just so much better than everyone in the division, but hey Rob fought good he improved a lot since their last fight
My jaw hit the the floor after the knockout
Like DL’s face hit the floor???
tai will knockout ngannou
Same
I have watched this guy for a while even when he was struggling in the UFC. This dude's a monster and such an awesome personality, he hasn't even hitting his prime yet wait till you see it
Sir. I want to leave a reply here so i can come at the end of the year and agree with this statement.
And here I was thinking Lewis was going to be too much for Tuivasa
Well he kinda was,that elbow was just nasty
It was definitely starting to look that way. Derrick looked great tonight. King Kong vs Godzilla
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Those bombs from Lewis from the clinch would have KO'ed most of the fighters but Tai not only recovered but threw back, which discouraged Lewis to engage further in that round. Tai's chin is excellent
spot on brother
It's not Tai chin it's about mobility in his strikes perfect landing
Just like mark hunt. Go Tai! 💪
After that first Round I remembered that Tai only has been TKOed by JDS because he couldnt get up from under him and also that he otherwise has never been Knocked Out. Dont underestemate that Samoan Mark Hunt Type Blockhead man.
yes he has
he got knocked out in kickboxing
@@wolfpack7gunner this is mma
@@tistakere5055 whats your point?????? he states that he had never been knocked out. he didnt say anything about mma lol.
next time think before you type what pops into that little brain of yours 👍🏼
@@wolfpack7gunner Nope just checked. Only ever TKO's. Tai's never been str8 knocked out in MMA, Boxing or Kickboxing.
I was incredibly speechless when Tai knocked out Derrick out cold!
he will knockout ngannou too
Why? Derrick is human. Don't be surprised if someone folds Nganou😂 It's usually a matter of time before a fighter eventually gets knocked out! Especially in the heavyweight division 💥
@Mystic Editor I assure you...Samoan chin is way better than any other race on earth. If Francis and Tai trade punches....Tai will KO him.
Why
Lewis has been knocked out before it was one of them fights were somebody gettin koed
Tai is a real as it gets, he literally took BOMBS from Derrick in round 1 and in response, swung back rapidly. Then he goes on to get the KO. I love all styles and I don’t think it would’ve been cowardly to wrestle or even just cover up, but the fact that Tai didn’t back down against one of the most feared KO artists in history just shows the 0 fear he carries as a pro fighter.
Deer
he will knockout ngannou
@@ericarizona nahh
@@wisewigga7129 Yes...He will Knockout Francis...If Mark HUNT was still fighting he would kill Francis too.
Cause he a Samoan point blank
I was jumping up and down when tai dropped him so proud of my fellow Aussie
I didn't like Tuivasa in this fight beforehand but man, this was an impressive performance. What a chin this guy has, and what devastating power. Nobody took Lewis out that way until today.
No one rook his shots like that either.
Matt Mitrione, Shawn Jordan, Mark Hunt, Junior dos Santos, Ciryl Gane and Now Tai has all Stopped Derrick so yeah...
@@had573 only one of them put him out cold like tai did. It was either Matt or Mark who slept him like tai. All others tkoed him.
@@briannodwll5423 True you are correct but he definitely got rocked in those fights as well
First time we've ever seen Lewis out cold. Usually he folds to a TKO finish, but Tai just flattened him with that elbow.
Tai took Derrick Lewis hometown crowd away from him. He should’ve gave the Rocky Balboa speech “If I can change then you can change. Everybody can change”
@aloevv𖤐 wow
@aloevv𖤐 bruh tai aint even white
@@ParodyVids he is lol, look at his skin color, pretty white to me.
@@17chains lol he's definitely samoan. Maybe born in Australia but you can tell he's reppping his Polynesian side with the tribal tattoos and his obvious name Tuivasa is from Polynesian descendant. Also has the necklace of poly
@@17chains You literally just said he’s mixed. You don’t cancel out the caucasian in somebody because they have a parent of colour. Just like you’re not wrong for stating that Obama is half white because he is.
Tai winning gave u that good feeling, up there w glover and moreno winning 🙌🏽
This was the main event 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dude won the AFC belt With The Same Elbow haha 😂 Love it
It’s called the peoples Elbow!
@aloevv𖤐 his not white but ok
@aloevv𖤐hes Brown, don't try to steal him lol
Haha instead of showing the replays they showed tai hittin a lil shuffle 😂
They did that for YT so you don't see the ko...on the ppv it shows the replay. UFC uploaded this clip. They want you to pay ta play lol
He was doing a Mounty Bop
@@tonyb1984 haha yea I figured as much, mad petty tho 😂
Tai is extremely tough. No one else besides Mark Hunt would have survived those shots from D Lewis. Great matchup against Francis
lol... he was neve caught clean full power
I hope they get wasted together tonight… much respect to both of these legends. Could’ve gone either way and they know it. Bangers for life 🤙
Tai absolutely baptized Derrick! He is a BAD MAN!!!
I was screaming like crazy when Tai KO Derrick because I was rooting for Tai. God Tai has legit knockout power!!
All heavyweights have legit power 😒
Me too, I was so Happy
Me too Brodie. Won some money off this man. He’s gonna run the division given some time
@@Dolphland I don't see him making it past Gane, Ngannou and Stipe.
@@averagecasual4801 you prolly said the same about lewis. You never know buddy
"My names Tai, like Muay Thai" - Tai Tuivasa.
best post fight interviews collectively of any pvp ever
1:10 He hit derrick with some bombs, but he hit us with the mounty-bop.
I knew it. I was sure Tuivasa could match Lewis' power but I wasn't so certain Lewis could match Tuivasa's toughness. Great fight.
Nice work Tai Tuivasa 👏 both ends showing respect.. both man putting on a great show 👍
the elbow was the finish, but that big right hand did it, great fight, More exciting than the main event
passing of the torch. plus this guy has the CHIN of Rocky Balboa. Interesting to see where he goes from here🇦🇺
I like this guy! He is an awesome guy and easy like as a person and a beast inside the cage.
I likes this guy already full of energy 🔥🔥🔥
Everyone doubted tai in both sakai and lewis fights, knew he will knock them out
Let's goooooooooo shoeyvasa 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So happy for Tai very likeable guy he is the future
What a performance Tai!!!!!
Two of the nicest men in UFC, fantastic fight 🇬🇧👊🏼
It’s impossible not to love this man
So happy Tai won this fight. He took some big shots and just kept trading. Heavyweight division delivers again.
I thought before the fight he's being slept on and that for his size he moves really good and is quick for a big guy. Im glad he won I picked him
That knockout was clean and tuivasa really has a good chin great fight💯
2 of my 3 picks won, Tai is a monster. Love this dude.
What was Tai’s entrance music this time? I missed it..
Also, Tai managed to get huge love from the crowd after knocking out their hometown fighter. That dude is awesome!
Girls just wanna have fuuun ohhh girls just wanna haaaave
@@gargeorge99 oh, awesome! that’s a great song, I gotta find that entrance on YT. Thank you
That elbow was from HELL 💥💥💤💤💤
nah it was from heaven and sent lewis to hell 😂
@@kingzlimitz4599 😂😂
It’s called the peoples elbow..Polynesian people.
@@tuiesera3231 the rock is black tho
@@poopbutt6241 hate to disappoint you but the rock is also Samoan (very true fact).
I'm so happy for tai n lots of love n appreciation from neighboring NZ
You got to love this guy, man I hope he makes it to the title shot, all deserved
Broooooo tai took heavy bangs , rocked him and still can back , I had tai for KO but I didn’t care about the bet it was the fact this fight was just fire 🔥
Crazy fight, crazy chin, curious to see if Tuivas is ever going to fight Ngannou.
Tuivasa fought that like how Lewis has faught all his other fights! It was so interesting to see Lewis be the chaser AND have more output AND control on the ground only to get KOD. Damn thats the game tho
What a G. Love that interview.
Wow by KO,Thats insane
Ive always said Tai Tuivasa reminds me of Mark Hunt. Hes not afraid to stand and bang and has hella of a chin. Hope he works on his wrestling and defense though
Tai was Mark’s sparring partner for several years.
Yup. Cardio. Work on his takedown defense and let his kicks fly a bit more because they really do the damge
@@tacotacotington3638 really? Thanks for the info now it makes more sense.
@@letitburnforever2122 yes. Derrick looked really uncomfortable when it lands. Hes still 28 which is mad. But he can only swing n bang for so long till it catches up on him
Love to see a guy like Tai making it! West SYD 💪🏼🇦🇺
that comeback was insane wtf... he took those hit like a fckg CHAMP
Should have showed the Shoey on top of the cage.
They should’ve actually filmed him do the shoey!! What was that about?!?!
@@sealion2029 right? Why didn’t they show it those bastards
@@sealion2029 if he dropped the shoey thing, he'd be much more likeable... shit is disgusting
Both fighters good dudes, was rooting for Derek ofc. But fairplay to Tai, interested to see more from him now.
That clash man... the wild exchanges, big respect to DL..
Tai never fails to put me on the edge of my seat.
Unbelievable fir Tuivasa. Well deserved. brilliant fight and what a finish from him. He is on the rise and can take a shot.
I like both tai and Derrick but there is something about Tai that everyone loves. He doesn't give a fook haha
Damn Derrick got showed up…. Damn man
Embarrassing loss
Amazing win again bambam was rooting for ya love from Scotland 🏴❤️🇦🇺
Tuivasa just gets more and more Savage bro! Great win! I'm a Derrick Lewis fan and I'm m American but I was rooting for tai in this fight! I just like what tai brings. It's exciting and fiery! Tai took the knockout kings best shots and walked right through the fire and gave it back better! Legendary fight and I doubt it's the last time we see these 2 bang!
I hate seeing Lewis lose man but I also love bam bam title shot title shot let's swing and bang
Good to see a new fighter move up the ranks 💪
ye man i knew he s gonna win
@@mandown5599 When its Samoan vs black you know the results 💯
@@arianlatifi5492 wtf 🤣
Tuivasa is as tough as they get. Big respect!
Congrats bam bam you deserve it u worked so hard keep it up my friend hard work pays off
Why the hell did the brodcast show derrick sitting down on his stool instead of tai's shooey?
This guys gonna be the champ by the end of the year.
No Ngannou , Gane , and Miocic walk through him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😐
Yeah and Derrick Lewis would do the same too. Oh wait
@@UnknownUser-sz7xb miocic old as hell now
I’ve loved tais last 4 fights he just owns it.
How can you not love Tai?
I’ve been telling y’all! Lewis was gonna sleep 😴 Bam 💥
I'll eat my hat, I like him but I thought the beast had it in the bag.
most people did...Aussies felt like he had a sniff...you could see his chin in the Hardy fight...you need a vehicle to knock him out
what a win enjoy youre beer lad
Definitely a fan after this interview
That was a unexpected elbow LMAO
I told some people a few weeks ago that Tai can ko Lewis & they laughed at me. This was beautiful. As a neutral I enjoyed this more than any other fight on the card. Tai deserves the next title shot hands down! He just beat the #3 ranked guy.
Because he's a samoan fighter , the possibility is very high. He's pretty much like Mark Hunt
Whoever, what ever. Bloody legend
Tai is a straight up beast, great heart, and truly a future champion.
Holy shit what a star look at that reaction from the home town crowd
Rogan texted Anik with misinformation, he just can't stop!
WOW
I jumped out my seat watching this fight 🤭🤣😂
“Always Down To Get Down Baby”
Ufc need to promote this guy wayyyyyyy more
The only fight in UFC 271 that was actually good.
The entire card was fire wtf
@aloevv𖤐 Bobby was all HYPE AND NO ACTION! Tell me what Bobby did other than stand around?
@@NeverEndinShow You dillusional? The card was garbage.
@aloevv𖤐 Did you happen to hear the crowd boo? Again, all hype and no action. Fighters keep coming out saying they're going to put the work in and KO their opponents and nothing happens.
@@ComeHereGreatness bro 2 of the first 3 fights on the early prelims mfs each rocked each other and people got choked to sleep. Literally the best early prelims iv ever seen on any card. Me and my homies were like holy f*** those were the early prelims? This card is siiiick! You dillusional?
I still predicted correctly, that fact that I would be very upset and happy by the end of the fight 😞/😃
But after seeing Lewis walk out with his head down it’s more 😞
From the walkouts to the kos to the shoeys to the post fight interviews, Tuivasa is killing it everywhere. Love this guy, and yes, girls just wanna have fun 😆
Always been a fan big boi!
