BRITAIN’S Louie Sutherland has been announced as Tai Tuivasa’s short-notice replacement opponent for UFC Perth on May 2nd.
The 32-year-old heavyweight will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering back-to-back defeats, including the first knockout loss of his career at UFC London last month.
Tai Tuivasa enters the bout on a losing streak of his own, leaving him winless since 2022 after six consecutive defeats.
The Australian was set to face Sean Sharaf who withdrew due to a broken nose for Tuivasa’s fight on home soil.
UFC Perth is headlined by Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates in a hotly-anticipated welterweight bout.
