Whether or not Tai Tuivasa gets back to his winning ways will be a close call, according to oddsmakers.
Tuivasa will look to snap a three-fight losing skid when he takes on Marcin Tybura in a heavyweight main event at UFC Fight Night on March 16 from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
According to DraftKings, Tuivasa has opened as only a slight betting favorite at -125, with Tybura returning as the slightest of underdogs at +105. With odds this tight, there’s a good chance the fight could be a pick ’em or flip in favor of Tybura by the time they’re locked in the cage.
Tuivasa (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) aims to snap a three-fight skid that consists of finishes against Ciryl Gane, Sergei Pavlovich, and Alexander Volkov. Prior to the rough stretch, Tuivasa was on a five-fight winning streak and nearing title contender status.
Tybura (24-8 MMA, 11-7 UFC) is 2-2 in his last four fights. He most recently lost by TKO to Tom Aspinall in July. The fight lasted only 73 seconds.
