As a result, Tybura won the $50,000 bonus from Dana White, as well as received praise from none other than the MMA legend Michael Bisping.
Serving as a color commentator for the Tybura vs. Tuivasa fight, Bisping praised Tybura’s strategic execution during the ESPN+ broadcast post-event.
Here’s what he had to say:
Tai Tuivasa came out and looked very dangerous early on, he always is [because] he’s got that knockout power, but Marcin Tybura proved to be the veteran.
He had more methods and ways to win the fight.
[It was a] beautiful takedown, he went forward and knew he had to fight; he knew he couldn’t be overly technical.He knew he had to fight [and] get down with Tuivasa.
Nothing but smiles after his victory tonight 😆#UFCVegas88 | @MarcinTybura pic.twitter.com/4uvdqph6qD
