Unbeaten Australian Tai Tuivasa believes his “Shoey” celebration after his first-round victory at UFC 221 was “timid” because there was no spit in the shoe that he drank from.
As he left the Octagon, Tuivasa produced a shoe and drank from it to the delight of the Perth crowd.
Speaking about the memorable celebration, Tuivasa revealed that he didn’t know the owner of the shoe that he drank from. He also claimed that the shoe most likely contained bourbon.
“I think it was Jim Beam,” Tuivasa told Ariel Helwani on the latest episode of The MMA Hour.
