This weekend (Sat. December 1, 2018) Tai Tuivasa will face the biggest challenge of his career.
Tuivasa will step into the Octagon against former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos. The pair will main event this weekend’s UFC Australia event. Tuivasa has had a steadily impressive rise through the heavyweight division, and is looking forward to testing himself against a fighter the caliber of “Cigano.”
Speaking to MMA Junkie recently, Tuivasa made his gameplan for his Brazilian counterpart pretty clear – swing for the fences:
“This can go either way, but this is my home country, these are my people,” Tuivasa said. “This guy who’s coming to take my head off, he’s no slouch. He’s one of the best fighters ever, so I’m not taking it lightly.
“I’m going to go out there, and I want to get this done quick. I’m coming out, and I’m swinging for the fences.”
Tuivasa has been very impressive in his UFC career thus far. He currently sports an undefeated record of 8-0, finishing all but one of his opponents via knockout. That one opponent who managed to go the distance with Tuivasa is former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski.
Arlovski was defeated by Tuivasa via unanimous decision this past June at UFC 225. As for “JDS,” he comes off a unanimous decision victory over Blagoy Ivanov in July. Now, he’s hoping to continue his hot streak by stopping the hype train of Tuivasa.

Junior dos Santos is firing shots at everyone right now…
Having sat absent from the heavyweight division for the majority of the last three years, former champ Junior dos Santos has averaged one fight per year. Keeping him from action have been a number of injuries, but his current physical condition appears to be fantastic. Keeping fans updated to his progress, ‘Cigano’ has posted photos of his near-prime physique on social media. Finally a heavyweight clash with Stefan Struve was announced for February 19, but it soon fell apart. Dropping off the card injured, ‘The Skyscraper’ left ‘JDS’ without an opponent at Fight Night 105.
Since holding the title, ‘Cigano’ has seen the belt change hands three times. During that period dos Santos went 3-2, but arguably looked the best we’ve seen in years against Ben Rothwell last April. When Cain Velasquez fell off the UFC 208 card with Fabricio Werdum, ‘JDS’ threw his name in the hat. ‘Vai Cavalo’ reportedly refused the fight, and a war of words ensued. Now that he’s in search of a replacement, dos Santos appears frustrated during his interview with ESPN.com’s Brett Okamoto.
Owning a win over Werdum from way back in 2008, ‘Cigano’ says his Brazilian rival doesn’t want the chance for revenge:
“The right thing now would be for me to fight Werdum. Everybody knows there is a rivalry between us. That would be a great moment for everybody, but he doesn’t want the fight.”
“He knows he can’t have a good performance against me. I imagine he wants to keep his high rank, because then people will give him attention he really doesn’t deserve.”
Also having defeated Stipe Miocic, dos Santos says if he can’t get another opponent in February, it’s title fight time.
“I hope the UFC finds me an opponent for Feb. 19, but if they don’t, I think the right thing would be me fighting Miocic for the title. Let’s get this division going.”
“I’m just really upset about everything happening in this division right now,” dos Santos said. “It’s completely stopped. I’m in shape. I’m doing very well. I’m actually in one of the best times of my life. I’m looking forward to fighting again, but the UFC is allowing these guys to do whatever they want to do.
“I don’t know why. [USADA] changed everything, too. With USADA here, things are different in this division. Weird things are happening. I’m just sad. Very sad. I’m ready to go, and I just need an opportunity. That’s the UFC’s job. They need to work on getting me an opportunity.”
According to the report, Alistair Overeem, Josh Barnett, Andrei Arlovski and Mark Hunt were all unavailable to fight. ‘JDS’ mentioning USADA probably pertains to Barnett’s recent suspension, and Hunt’s reported insistence on a steroid clause. Evidently, ‘The Super Samoan’ and Overeem were eventually paired for UFC 209.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior “Cigano” Dos Santos returned to action at UFC Fight Night 86 earlier this month, securing an impressive and one-sided decision victory over the previously surging Ben Rothwell.
“Cigano” showed signs of his old self, looking rejuvenated and refocused, displaying his crisp and effective boxing skills to outpoint Rothwell.
Although he secured a crucial victory, it doesn’t appear as if Dos Santos came out of the bout unscathed.
Taking to his official Instagram account recently, the Brazilian slugger admitted that he had suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery:
“Despite being Brazilian I’ve never played soccer very well, I also wasn’t good enough on swimming or running or any other sports like those. But luckily I found myself in the fight world and I can say, I’m good it.
But fighting demands a lot and sometimes even in victory we can get hurt. I could say that now would be a very difficult time for me, but I actually feel blessed. I hurt my shoulder a bit but I won a great fight, and I’m having a excellent care so that very, very soon I will be 100% again.
I had a small shoulder surgery this morning and as my good friend Doctor Howard Gelb who took great care of me said, everything went perfectly and guess what! I’m already at home relaxing.
I just would like to let you guys know through me”
“Cigano” also revealed to MMAFighting.com that he’s hoping to be cleared to train within 12 weeks.
After his most recent victory, Dos Santos should be in line for a big fight upon his return from injury.
