Tai Tuivasa comes into this fight with a 12-3 record overall and he has won two fights in a row. Tuivasa’s last fight was against Harry Hunsucker in March of 2021 and in that fight it was early in that first round that he won by knockout.

In this fight, if he can not gas out early, that could be a big advantage later on.

On the other side of this matchup is Greg Hardy who comes into this game with a 7-3 record overall and he also has one no-contest. Hardy has shown some flashes of being good, but at times he has still looked really raw.
