Despite being in the UFC for over 13 years, Brad Tavares still experiences new things on fight week.

Take his UFC 292 bout last year with Chris Weidman, for example. The two longtime middleweights crossed paths ahead of their fight and ended up spending quite a bit of time together.

Order UFC 298: Volkanovski vs Topuria

That was a different experience for Tavares, not that he’s uninterested in being friendly or toward an opponent, but trading stories, meeting family and friends, and hanging out before meeting in the Octagon?
