Tai Tuivasa equals unwanted UFC record as he suffers 8th loss in a row at UFC 331
Despaigne earned a split decision as Tuivasa matched Tony Ferguson’s UFC record with eight straight losses.
- On Saturday night at UFC 331 in Los Angeles, Robelis Despaigne defeated Tai Tuivasa via split decision with judges scoring 29-28, 28-29, and 29-28 in the Cuban fighter's return to the promotion.
- With this defeat, Tuivasa matched the longest losing streak in UFC history, tying Tony Ferguson with eight consecutive losses. The Aussie heavyweight's record now mirrors Ferguson's unwanted mark set before he departed the promotion in 2024.
- Referee Jason Herzog oversaw the bout at Crypto.com Arena, which critics described as poorly executed. Both fighters appeared exhausted as Despaigne utilized grappling and top control to secure his victory over the struggling heavyweight.
- Following eight consecutive losses, Tuivasa is likely to be cut from the UFC roster, though he remains a fan favorite. Experts suggest his tenure with the promotion has effectively concluded despite his popularity.
- Should he depart the promotion, Tuivasa may explore other combat sports including Power Slap, professional boxing, or Karate Combat, where Despaigne previously competed before his UFC return.
