Both Tai Tuivasa and Stefan Struve came into their UFC 254 bout in need of a win. Tuivasa (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) had three straight losses entering their heavyweight fight, while Struve (29-13 MMA, 13-11 UFC) had dropped four of his past five. Tuivasa was better able to translate his sense of urgency into action in the cage, as he pushed the pace and caused the “Skyscraper” to topple in the final second of the opening round. The time of the TKO finish was 4:59 of the opening round at Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. “It’s been awhile, been awhile,” Tuivasa said afterward. “It’s good to be back.” Related UFC 254 discussion thread UFC 254 video: Miranda Maverick wins after wicked elbow slices open bridge of Liana Jojua's nose UFC 254 predictions: Who's picking Justin Gaethje to hand Khabib his first loss
