Ian Parker's betting tip
Tuivasa carries tremendous power, and when he lands, he can shut anyone's lights out. However, he tends to fall short if he doesn't land that knockout punch. I believe that's what will happen here.
Tybura will be the more technical striker, but the difference here will be his wrestling and ground game. We have seen him use it successfully before. Look for Tybura to come out early using calf kicks to slow down Tuivasa and then eventually take him to the ground, where Tybura should have no issue controlling the fight.
