UFC called not to cut the heavy weight between the list cleaning

Since June 2024, the UFC has issued or chosen not to renew the eight heavyweight contracts. Some of them were ranked when they were released – with the last loss of non -mayes, another omission could be on the way out.

It is a comprehensible sweep of the list as the organization tries to give up the heavy weight sharing of the dead weight. What is a little surprising to some is how Tai Tuivasa has avoided the ax.

Popular MMA content maker Doby Simu She posted a view of Tuivasa’s screen, with five brutal Tuivasa fighting with five fights. Another popular social media account, Spinnin Backfist, repeated in the post, “but they cut Bigi Boy.”

SB was referring to the last cut of the promotion of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Aka Bigi Boy.

Rozenstruik ranked 9th when he lost a unanimous unanimous decision against Sergey Pavlovich on February 1. Before the loss, Rosenstruik had won two in a row and is 15-6 in general. In fact, Rozenstruik defeated Tuivasa through a decision divided in August 2024.

Due to the Rosenstruik record and the last success, it was a little surprising when I saw it to be released.

When you look at a loss of Tuivasa with five Tuivasa fights, it is even more shocking that it is still on the list. Tuivasa is not just losing – he is over at all, but one of the losses in this slide and has not won a fight in three years.

So why is the number 10 rank tuivasa still on the list? Two reasons are likely. One, he is still under contract. This may seem clear, but it is important to note that rosenstruic may not have been cut – the promotion may have decided simply not to renew its agreement.

This means that when the Tuivasa deal is over, if he has not found his way to the Win column, he can also end in the same position. The second reason is a combination of fighting style and charisma.

Tuivasa is a comprehensive, friendly fans who have had wars during his time at UFC. He has scored explosives of KO on the likes of Stefan Struve, Greg Hardy, Augusto Sakai and Derrick Lewis. Tuivasa possesses a constant quality of everyone who resonates with fans of war. Rozenstruik, on the other hand, lost a truly boring war against Pavlovich that UFC President Dana White described accurately “terrible”.

After starting his UFC directed as a KO artist, Rozenstruik evolved into a highly calculated heavy weight with a reduced work rate.

The celebration shoey definitely did not hurt the popularity of Tuivasa. Because Australia has become such an important region for UFC, there may also be an additional benefit to hold a local fighter known on the list.

Unfortunately for Bigi Boy, the UFC has not created much presence in his country, Suriname.

I understand both sides of this concept. Fans and others have a point if they question the release of rosenstruic when compared to the continued presence of Tuivasa on the list. After all, both men fought relatively recently, and Rosenstruik won the war.

However, Tuivasa is a more exciting fighter, and the connection of fans is important. Age is also a factor – Tuivasa is still only 31 years old, while rosenstruik is 36 years old.

If the fans are really interested in justice, everyone will be right in the world if Tuivasa gets boot after another loss or at the end of his contract. If Tuivasa retires and comes out with a big victory, critics will have to chew, as he is likely to be promoting for much longer. And his fans will enjoy some other shoes in his honor.
