Daniel Cormier thinks he’s pretty much better than everyone at everything.

Sit down with the former two-division champion long enough and he’ll regale you with tales about how he schooled Jamahal Hill, Belal Muhammad, and Kevin Holland on the basketball court, or how he can smash everyone at Street Fighter 6.

Now you can add dancing to Cormier’s list of hidden talents.

“I can outdance you,” Cormier declared while speaking with Tai Tuivasa about this year’s Olympic debut of breakdancing. “I’ve been in a club with you and I’ve outdanced you. You remember that time we were out in that club and Lil’ John was performing and I started dancing. The entire club was going, ‘Go DC!’

“You battled the guy in the wheelchair,” Tuivasa replied.

Cormier tried to deny that he dance-battled with someone in a wheelchair, but was quick to remind Tuivasa that he was the one doing shoeys in the middle of the club.

Tai Tuivasa’s struggles inside the Octagon continue

After rattling off five straight wins against the likes of Stefan Struve, Greg Hardy, and Derrick Lewis, ‘Bam Bam’ now finds himself staring down the barrel of a five-fight losing streak. Returning to the Octagon at UFC 305 in his Native Australia, Tuivasa failed to climb back into the win column, suffering a split-decision loss against Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Despite his recent struggles, Tuivasa is still clinging to a spot in the heavyweight top 15, though if he doesn’t see his hand raised soon, that may not be the case for much longer.

Things didn’t go to plan for heavyweight contender Tai Tuivasa at UFC 305, as his lengthy losing skid got further extended by Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Since rising to a career high #3 in the rankings when a knockout of Derrick Lewis put him on a five-fight winning run, fan favorite Tuivasa has experienced nothing but defeat inside the Octagon.

This year began with “Bam Bam” suffering a fourth straight loss, with Marcin Tybura adding to the woes of the Australian’s setbacks opposite Ciryl Gane, Sergei Pavlovich, and Alexander Volkov.

And at this past weekend’s pay-per-view in Perth, Australia, it was the turn of Rozenstruik to get in on the action. “Bigi Boy” followed up on his headline win over Shamil Gaziev earlier in 2024 by comfortably outpointing Tuivasa in enemy territory.

Tuivasa On UFC 305 Setback: ‘We Live To Fight Another Day’

Following his latest defeat, Tuivasa soon took to social media with his first comments.

In a post on Instagram, “Bam Bam” acknowledged the effort he put into camp and expressed understandable disappointing at failing to have his hand raised in front of his home fans Down Under.

Nevertheless, the Aussie won’t be kept down, with the 31-year-old telling his fans that he “lives to fight another day.”

“Fuck. What a sport,” Tuivasa wrote. “I put my all into this camp and didn’t come away with the win. Big love to all my fans I put my all into this didn’t get the treats. My bad love you all the real ones Live to fight another day. AUSSIE FANS I LOVE YOU C**TS BEST IN THE BIZZO We live to fight another day ”

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Tuivasa. He had previously outlined his intention to return for a third fight this year following UFC 305. Whether or not that plan remains after Saturday’s loss is unclear.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik scores sketchy split decision over Tai Tuivasa – UFC 305 Highlights

Jairzinho Rozenstruik bagged another big win in the heavyweight division at UFC 305.

Things were relatively slow in the opening round with both fighters showing a great deal of respect for the power standing across from them. Tuivasa worked the lower leg attack throughout the first five minutes, but Rozenstruik managed to land a nasty blow to the body with 60 seconds left in the first.

Rozenstruik once again landed big to the body in round two, but Tuivasa finally started to let his hands go and had ‘Bigi Boi’ backing up.

Tuivasa got caught getting a little overzealous and ate a hard knee from Rozenstruik in close. Distancing himself once again, Tuivasa uncorked another low kick, but his foot connected directly with Rozenstruik’s knee, which clearly caused him some discomfort.

With Tuivasa hobbling backward, Rozenstruik was able to pursue and land some big blows allowing him to potentially steal the round.

With Tuivasa potentially down 2-0, ‘Bam Bam’ needed to take some risks. Unfortunately, Tuivasa struggled to find his way inside and was unable to offer much in the way of significant strikes.

Despite Rozenstruik being in control for the majority of the 15-minute affair and handily outstriking his opponent, one judge shockingly favored Tuivasa on the scorecards, giving the hometown hero a clean 30-27 sweep.

Official Result: Jairzinho Rozenstruik def. Tai Tuivasa via split decision (29-28, 27-30, 30-27)
