Despite Justin Willis ’ recent surprise release from the UFC , his manager, Abraham Kawa, believes the fight between him and Tai Tuivasa has to happen. While there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding Willis (8-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC), who had an impressive UFC record, and why he was released, Kawa knows one thing: His client really wants to fight Tuivasa (8-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC). “I think it has a lot to do with a lot of just misunderstandings with what was going on, but it’s OK – it’s not a bad thing,” Kawa told MMA Junkie. “The second he got released, we got called up, ‘Hey is it true? Is there any way we can get him on our next fight card?’ The initial response to that is, ‘Well, it’s not that Justin is dead set on fighting for the UFC; I think it’s just that Justin really, really wants to fight Tai. He doesn’t mind taking a one-fight deal
