An analyst reviewed Josh Tuivasa's performance, noting he could fight more conservatively to avoid absorbing so many strikes, but his created image requires him to match his trash talk with action. While he succeeded in defeating Curtis Blaydes, the post warned that such charging attacks would lead to knockout losses against elite strikers like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. The analyst praised Tuivasa's increasing punching power that doesn't diminish even in the third round of grueling fights, and noted his improved striking variety including effective elbow work courtesy of coach Brandon Gibson. Tuivasa's wrestling defense was highlighted as being at a high level, easily stuffing Blaydes' takedown attempts. The post suggested Tuivasa's wild fighting style perfectly matches the preferences of Donald Trump and Dana White, especially with Trump sitting in the front row. Regarding the Derrick Lewis fight at the White House, the analyst warned not to count Lewis out but suspected Lewis would prioritize money and avoiding damage over actually winning.
