"I do hate him," Morales told Alvaro Colemenoro. "We don't have a very good vibe. But at the end of the day, he's still a fighter.

Mokaev wrote on X.
Even after a hiatus that lasted more than a year, Tai Tuivasa's slump continued at UFC 325. The popular Aussie heavyweight struggled to remain upright, dropping a unanimous decision to Tallison Teixeira in a featured bout this past Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
