Tuivasa also thanked his partner for looking after him and dealing with him, and all those who helped him during fight camp.


When Robert Whittaker shared some advice for Tai Tuivasa

Former UFC middleweight champion had some advice for Tai Tuivasa after the latter’s fifth consecutive loss in the promotion.

Tuivasa had lost to Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC 305 and Whittaker believed the heavyweight still had time on his side to improve his game.

Whittaker said the following on MMArcade Podcast:

“Tai is pretty young still. I think Tai needs to step back from the game for a little bit. Assess the situation and just work on his craft. He’s got the power, he just needs to sharpen his skill set to get around dudes like Rozenstruik.”
