“There’s always pressure, but it’s no pressure I haven’t seen before,” Tuivasa told reporters at the UFC Vegas 88 media day (watch the video replay here). “I’ve been here before in my life and in fighting. My preparation has been good, so I’m relying on that. Marcin has been around for a long time – I’ve watched him for many years. He’s very experienced. I’m not going to be able to bring anything that he hasn’t seen before. I know his plan is to try to drag me through the rounds and then try to wear me down, I suppose. But this is the heavyweight division and I want to come down and come hard and try to get this job done.”
