Robelis Despaigne
Tai Tuivasa
The green percentage is the Polymarket prediction market; the amber line is the sportsbook moneyline. They price the same fight two different ways.
Odds are based on bookmaker betting lines and reflect an average value, and they can move at any time. AgentMMA is not a bookmaker and takes no bets.
Tai Tuivasa needs this one bad. Bam Bam is staring down a brutal five fight losing streak, and fighting another guy who's also struggling makes this a must win situation. Tuivasa's last few years have been rough. He got submitted by Tybura in the first round back in March 2024, then Volkov caught him with that nasty Ezekiel choke. Most recently, he dropped back to back decisions against Rozenstruik, Tallison Teixeira, and Louie Sutherland. The Aussie crowd loves him, but losses pile up fast at heavyweight.
- Tuivasa riding a brutal five fight skid
- Despaigne's hype train derailed after that Parisian knockout
- Loser might be fighting for their UFC job
If Tuivasa's power shows up early or Despaigne actually lets his hands go, this one could end violently in the first round.
Robelis Despaigne came in with crazy hype as this 7 foot Cuban kickboxer, but the UFC has been a wake up call. He starched Josh Parisian in 18 seconds at UFC 299, which had everyone thinking he was the next big thing. Then reality hit. Waldo Cortes Acosta outworked him for three rounds, and Austen Lane did the same thing. Despaigne's landed just 76 total strikes across those two decision losses. For a guy with his reach and kickboxing background, that's concerning.
This is a classic heavyweight crossroads fight. Tuivasa still has that southpaw power and the shoey celebrations waiting if he can get back in the win column. Despaigne has all the physical tools but hasn't figured out how to use them over 15 minutes. Both guys are in desperate need of a W before the UFC starts making phone calls about their futures.
