UFC heavyweight Tai Tuivasa to appear on The Amazing Race Australia
Tai Tuivasa can add reality TV star to his résumé.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the UFC heavyweight will be a contestant on the upcoming season of The Amazing Race Australia — a regional spinoff of the popular CBS reality show. Tuivasa teams up with his brother Logan on the all-celebrity cast.
Check out the announcement from the show, and from Tuivasa himself below.
As of now, there is no word on when the eighth season of the show will premiere.
Tuivasa has become a fan-favorite in the UFC with the hard-hitting, powerful style he’s shown off during his 15-fight run with the promotion. Currently, Tuivasa has been stopped in four-straight fights, most recently being submitted in the first round by Marcin Tybura in the main event of UFC Vegas 88 in March.
Prior to his skid, Tuivasa fought his way into title contention when he picked up five straight knockout victories, including stoppages of Derrick Lewis, Augusto Sakai, and Greg Hardy.
