The main ticket opener for UFC Fight Night: Brunson versus Holland is testament to a tough battle of epic proportions. Australian heavy hitter Tai Tuivasa takes on 10 fight pro Harry Hunsucker to start the main map with a bang. Both men have T / KO victories in their last fights, and the fans are booking an exciting end.
The heavyweight division is gaining momentum and the division title is coming up soon. Lots of newer names have popped up on the front lines, and the division isn’t as top-heavy as it used to be. Stringing a few consecutive Performance Bonus-worthy placements is often enough to get the fighters to fight, and that is exactly what both heavyweights will aim for.

« Bam Bam » Tuivasa broke his three-way battle when he rebounded with a knockout win against Stefan Struve in October. Before his disappointing slump, he was undefeated and moved up to the competition. The division’s elites like Junior Dos Santos and Blagoy Ivanov, however, turned out to be too smart.
Tai Tuivasa has been working under the AKA outfit, and his offensive wrestling should have gained momentum. In addition, he believes that his approach to the fighting game has improved significantly and this will be reflected from now on. He faces a knockout batsman with a lightning cannon, and Tuivasa will count on his accuracy to score big.
Harry Hunsucker makes his UFC debut after knocking out 45 seconds in his last bout outside of promotion has achieved. As early as November 2020, when it was completed via TKO, it stayed behind on the occasion of his Dana White Contender Series. « The Hurricane » clearly has a « kill or be killed » attitude towards fighting and this may be why he’s in the promotion.
Hunsucker can flash in range much like his opponent, but he isn’t quite so on my feet. The 32-year-old embodies the classic case of durability mixed with spotty cardio, but this fight is unlikely to go that far. A debut win against Tuivasa will help Harry Hunsucker move into the limelight. Unfortunately, we don’t see a walk in the park for him.
