In the UFC Vegas 88 main event, Marcin Tybura showcased his grappling prowess against Tai Tuivasa. Despite a gash on his forehead from a powerful standing elbow by Tuivasa, Tybura remained unfazed. The big man executed a well-timed double leg takedown, transitioning from half guard to back mount. Ground-and-pound strikes followed, and Tybura eventually secured a rear-naked choke submission at 4:08 of Round 1.
The victory marked a triumphant return for Tybura after a previous loss to Tom Aspinall. Meanwhile, Tai Tuivasa’s lackluster UFC journey continued, with this defeat being his fourth in a row. The fight showcased Tybura’s grappling acumen in a division known for its knockout power. With this impressive win, Tybura solidified his position and left a lasting impression on the UFC Vegas 88 card.
With the win, Tybura has reentered the win column after a quick July loss to Tom Aspinall. Tybura has now won three of his most recent four outings. Since his UFC debut, Tuivasa has proven streaky regarding results. He started his UFC tenure 3-0, then lost three straight. He then won five in a row, and has since lost four straight.
