Tai “Bam Bam” Tuivasa, the Australian heavyweight with an affinity for drinking beer out of shoes, took to social media to belittle his most recent opponent, Greg Hardy. Hardy, who defected to the UFC from the NFL following a domestic violence conviction, is a controversial figure in MMA.
Tuivasa knocked Hardy out cold at UFC 264, and was this week incensed by something Hardy did online, which led Tuivasa to take aim via social media at his most recent opponent.
Tuivasa has NO TIME for Greg Hardy: “Don’t talk sh*t after I already f*cked you up!”
Although Hardy posted immediately following the fight congratulating the Australian on his win, at some point between now and then it seems that Hardy changed his tune, prompting Tuivasa to trash the former football player.
On Instagram, “Bam Bam” posted: “@greghardyjr chicken dance bruuuh hahaha imma leave this here and let you fink about some fings ok
Or I’ll come there and smack your other eye you eyeguy talk to much end up on your back I’m a man I hit back uce #bambam #FTA #westernsydney #totheworld #ESSSHHHAAAAYYYY #talksh*tgethit”
It’s unclear what exactly Hardy did to upset Tai Tuivasa this much, but it may have something to do with a chicken dance. He may have been referencing his early aggressive approach to the fight, in which Tuivasa was backed up for the first minute. It may have simply been calling Tuivasa a “chicken”. Why exactly Hardy, who after the first minute was unconscious on the floor, would do so, is a mystery.
Tuivasa finished his tirade with a final jab at Hardy’s nickname, declaring the man “prince of f*ck all”, Australian slang for “prince of nothing”:
“guy ok I’m putting my phone away now !!! But don’t talk sh*t after I already f*cked you up !!! Can meet up whenever wherever my bred #bambam #FTA #westernsydney #imnotheoneucccce #princeoff*ckall”
There may be unfinished business between the two heavyweights, and with a trajectory for Tuivasa unclear, perhaps a rematch between the two is on the cards. Although Tai Tuivasa is a popular athlete in his homeland, and trains alongside Daniel Cormier at American Kickboxing Academy, he will need to take on a top-ten opponent if he wants to take a run at Francis Ngannou’s title.
What do you think is next for Tai Tuivasa and Greg Hardy? Will the two fight again, or does Tuivasa’s knockout finish seal the deal? Will Tuivasa look to move up the ranks and crack the top 10? Let us know what you think in the comments.
