Cyril Asker vs. Tai Tuivasa added to UFC 221 in Perth
A heavyweight bout between Cyril Asker and Tai Tuivasa is the latest addition to February’s UFC 221 lineup.
The Daily Telegraph announced the matchup between Asker (9-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and Tuivasa (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC).
UFC 221 takes place Feb. 10 at Perth Arena in Australia and marks the UFC’s debut in Western Australia. It airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the full fight card and bout order haven’t been finalized.
Asker will attempt to win two UFC fights in a row for the first time at UFC 221. He’s alternated wins and losses over his four-fight tenure with the promotion, with his second-round submission of Hu Yaozong at November’s UFC Fight Night 122 event in Shanghai being his most recent octagon appearance.
Tuivasa, meanwhile, will attempt to build off an incredible debut victory at UFC Fight Night 121 in Sydney this past month. The 24-year-old pulled off a memorable flying-knee knockout of Rashad Coulter, keeping his 100 percent career knockout rate in tact.
The latest UFC 221 card now includes:
- Champ Robert Whittaker vs. Luke Rockhold – for middleweight title
- Curtis Blaydes vs. Mark Hunt
- Tyson Pedro vs. Saparbek Safarov
- Jussier Formiga vs. Ben Nguyen
- Cyril Asker vs. Tai Tuivasa
