In the face of adversity, the fan favorite heavyweight insists he isn\u2019t giving up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSORRY,\u201d Tuivasa wrote. \u201cI tried I felt good I put in the work didn\u2019t get result. I feel like a shit cunt let my fans down again. Back to the drawing board for me.

He scored a second-round knockout victory over Derrick Lewis. It\u2019s been downhill from there for \u201cBam Bam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back-to-back knockout losses to Ciryl Gane and Sergei Pavlovich set Tuivasa back from being a top contention. The skid then spiraled with submission losses to Alexander Volkov and Marcin Tybura.<\/p>\n<p>Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Tallison Teixeira ended up serving Tuivasa\u2019s next two losses. With the latest loss to Sutherland, many are wondering if Tuivasa\u2019s time under the UFC banner is over.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Saturday\u2019s event, Sutherland suffered back-to-back first-round finishes. This was his first win under the UFC banner. It\u2019s also the first time Sutherland has gone the distance in a year.<\/p>\n<p>BJPenn.com will keep you posted on what\u2019s next for Tuivasa in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think the UFC brass will keep Tai Tuivasa on the roster, or will he get cut?
