#5. Tai Tuivasa vs. Augusto Sakai will not make it to the second round at UFC 269

Tai Tuivasa is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC today. 'Bam Bam's fighting style, along with his infamous post-fight celebration, make him a must-watch for MMA fans around the world. Tuivasa is currently riding a three-fight win streak and all those wins came via first-round knockout.

Meanwhile, Sakai is on a two-fight skid and will be looking to make an impressive comeback at UFC 269. So, there is a good chance that both heavyweights will come out all guns blazing and the fight will end inside one round.
