Two UFC heavyweights looking for redemption battle in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Tuivasa vs. Tybura.
Tai Tuivasa (15-6) remains a fan favorite, although suffering a three-fight skid. His last three fights have all been against top heavyweight contenders, and now fights the tenth-ranked Marcin Tybura.
Tybura (24-8) is coming off a loss to interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, and a win over Tuivasa would restart his climb through the heavyweight top-ten. Also on the card, surging young prospects Isaac Dulgarian and Cristian Rodriguez square off on the main card.
