Tai Tuivasa reveals paying for his own flight for UFC Paris headliner

Heavyweight contender Tai Tuivasa will headline his second UFC event this weekend as the company makes its debut in Paris, France. But apparently, “Bam Bam” had to pay for his own flight to be able to have a comfortable trip at first class, instead of squeezing his 275 lb frame in couch.

The 29-year-old Sydney native appeared on Monday’s episode of the MMA Hour, where he told Ariel Helwani that he’d been paying for the airfare for many of his flights for a while now.

“I pay for my own tickets,” he said (H/T MMA Mania).
