My Take
Tai Tuivasa is pure heavyweight fun, and the UFC could frankly use more of him. The shoey, slamming a drink out of a sweaty shoe after a knockout, became one of the sport's great signature celebrations, and behind the larrikin grin is genuine knockout power that produced one of the best winning streaks in the division. Sydney-born in 1993 with proud Samoan heritage, he's Australian, not American as the data says. I love that he's never pretended to be anything but himself. Win or lose, Bam Bam brings energy that makes a fight card feel like an event.
