Tuivasa is mired in a four-fight losing streak under the UFC
banner. During that stretch, “Bam Bam” has been finished by the
likes of Marcin
Tybura, Alexander
Volkov, Sergei
Pavlovich and Ciryl Gane.
That skid was preceded by a five-fight Octagon winning streak for
the affable Aussie.
Rozenstruik, meanwhile, has won two of his last three Octagon
appearances. Most recently, “Bigi Boy” scored a fourth-round TKO
win against Shamil
Gaziev in the UFC Fight Night 238 headliner on March 2.
