Justin Willis was interested in a fight with Tai Tuivasa next. And then he wasn’t.
Willis defeated Mark Hunt by unanimous decision Saturday night at UFC Adelaide in Australia. In the main event of the card, Hunt’s teammate Tuivasa was knocked out by Junior dos Santos. After the defeat, Tuivasa called out Willis, who got into it with Hunt’s team this week at weigh-ins.
“Justin Willis, you little bitch,” Tuivasa said. “I’m coming for you, boy.”
In a post-fight media scrum, Willis laughed off Tuivasa’s challenge. He said he was only interested in fighting the Aussie if he beat dos Santos.
