UFC Adelaide video recap: Junior dos Santos scores second round stoppage over Tai Tuivasa

In the main event of UFC Adelaide, former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos came back from a tough first round to pick up a second-round TKO victory over Tai Tuivasa, handing him his first career loss.

What was the high point of the fight?

Tuivasa pressured Dos Santos early, backing him up against the fence and throwing some heavy low kicks. The Australian landed a heavy elbow and an uppercut inside the clinch to top off a good first round.

A right hand from ‘JDS’ rocked Tuivasa as he stepped in, and it set up the left hand from the Brazilian that sent Tuivasa to the canvas.
