Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Tai Tuivasa after UFC Fight Night 239 loss?

(ALSO SEE: Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Marcin Tybura after UFC Fight Night 239 win?)

Tai Tuivasa was unable to turn things around against Marcin Tybura at UFC Fight Night 239, and is now facing a career crossroads.

After being taken down and choked out by Tybura (25-8 MMA, 12-7 UFC) in the opening round of Saturday’s heavyweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Tuivasa (15-7 MMA, 8-7 UFC) now finds himself on a four-fight losing skid. The performances haven’t offered much in terms of redeeming qualities, either, and that’s cause for concern.

Can Tuivasa right the ship, or has his time already expired at just 31 years old? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Tuivasa’s future after UFC Fight Night 239.
