Tai Tuivasa sick of this ‘cuddle sh*t,’ seeks Khamzat Chimaev’s help

Tai Tuivasa’s return was spoiled at UFC 325.

Tuivasa (14-9 MMA, 8-9 UFC) suffered his sixth consecutive defeat when he lost a unanimous decision to Tallison Teixeira (9-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) this past Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. It was Tuivasa’s first fight after an 18-month layoff.

Tuivasa had his moments on the feet, but Teixeira’s three takedowns landed and seven minutes of control time proved to be the difference. A disappointed Tuivasa took to Instagram to speak out on the loss, and he wants UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev to help him tidy up his wrestling.
