Tai Tuivasa vs Greg Hardy: ex-rugby player vs ex-football player.

UFC 264 Heavy weight

Both heavyweights do well in stance and knockouts, which is not surprising in this category. It is unlikely that someone will try to transfer the fight to the ground, since this is not their element. However, even for their weight, the fighters are rather slow and the fight promises to drag on, which is more in Tuivase's hands.

Tai Tuivasa

The 28-year-old Australian played rugby quite successfully in the past, but then decided to change his role and began to enter the octagon. He joined the UFC in 2019 and started with three spectacular wins. Then something went wrong with Tai and he lost three times, for which he almost stayed out of the promotion. However, Tuivasa took advantage of the given chance and again began to enchant in the cage.

The Australian finisher is considered one of the most promising in his heavyweight division, but is not yet on the list of contenders. Of his five victories in the strongest league in the world, only one was obtained on points, while in other cases he invariably knocked out an opponent. "Bam Bam" has a very powerful blow, which was felt by his two last opponents, whom he sent to the floor in the first round.

Greg Hardy

The 32-year-old American used to play football professionally, but also went into mixed martial arts and his record in the UFC since 2019 has four wins and three losses. Greg is considered a rather "dirty" athlete, for which he was disqualified in the first fight, hitting his knee with an opponent who had already landed.

The last entry into the octagon against the eighth in the ranking of Marcin Tybura turned out to be very interesting. In the first segment, Hardy had a complete advantage, but could not knock out the Pole and in the second round he obviously slowed down, ended up on the ground and was outplayed there.

Prediction

The Australian is clearly tougher than Hardy, who already runs out of gas in the second round. Most likely, Tai will try to wear down the opponent and only then put a spectacular end. In our opinion, in the upcoming fight, Tuivas is closer to the victory and it will become premature.

Therefore, our bet will be an early victory of Tuivasa, for which the 1xBet bookmaker offers a coefficient of 2.47.
