UFC 264: Tai Tuivasa knocks out Greg Hardy in 67 seconds, drinks several ‘shoeys’
- Australian heavyweight makes it three wins in a row after dropping American with a counter left hook
- ‘I wanna fight someone in the top 10, but I don’t give a [expletive], I’m here to put a show on for the fans,’ Tuivasa says
Australian heavyweight Tai Tuivasa celebrated in trademark style with several shoes full of beer after knocking out Greg Hardy in 67 seconds at UFC 264 on Saturday night.
Hardy pointed to the centre of Octagon at the start of the fight, and there was a sense that this one was not going to get out of the first round.
The 28-year-old Tuivasa was hurt by Hardy early on and the American went for the finish, only to get clipped and knocked out cold with a counter left hook. Tuivasa followed up with some hammer fists on the ground but “The Prince of War” was already finished.
“Bam Bam” busted out some dance moves and then performed his traditional “shoey” celebration on top of the Octagon at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“Oh f***, I missed the crowd bro, that’s good,” Tuivasa said in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, as the fans roared their approval.
