Tai Tuivasa Addresses Sixth Straight Loss, Calls on Khamzat Chimaev for Wrestling Help

Following a record sixth defeat at UFC 325, the heavyweight seeks a reset by requesting wrestling help from Khamzat Chimaev.

Overview

  • Tuivasa dropped a unanimous decision to Tallison Teixeira at UFC 325 in Sydney, extending his skid to six fights.
  • The losing streak is the longest in UFC heavyweight history, leaving him winless since a February 2022 knockout of Derrick Lewis.
  • In a heartfelt Instagram post, he apologized to fans, described the loss as hurting more than punches, and said he will keep trying.
  • Fight stats show persistent grappling issues, with three Teixeira takedowns leading to more than seven minutes of control time.
  • After a 17-month layoff intended to reset, he remains on the UFC roster as discussion continues over retirement or a possible cut if the slide continues.
