There it is in the first, Tybura slaps on the RNC for the submission win. #UFCVegas88

Tuivasa was breathing HEAVY man – he was desperately trying to fight that as long as he could. Feel bad for the big Samoan but Tybura way too strong on the ground #UFCVegas88

Tai not actively looking to peel the hands and just trying to grit out the rnc with that amount of time left, was an odd choice ð³
Tybura with the smart gameplan – take it to the ground, and it was just a matter of time ðð» #UFCVegas88

Imagine a world where all HW fights were a single 10 min round. They all could look like that
