Once Marcin Tybura dragged Tai Tuivasa into his world, the result was all but academic.
The Polish heavyweight absorbed some heavy artillery from his Aussie foe early, then secured a takedown, unleashed heavy ground-and-pound and rendered his foe unconscious with a rear-naked choke 4:08 into the opening stanza of their headlining bout at UFC Fight Night 239 on Saturday night. Tybura is 8-2 in UFC competition since 2020, while Tuivasa has lost his last four Octagon appearances.
