Tuivasa revealed to ABC in Australia that he was inspired to go on a run for the UFC Heavyweight title by his son, who is a huge WWE fan.

He said: “My son’s a big WWE fan and he was telling me John Cena and Brock Lesnar would bash me. I said ‘you know Daddy could bash them’ and he said ‘Dad, you don’t even have a belt.

“I thought ‘you little sh*t, I’m gonna go get a belt now’ and now I’m pretty close. I never really sat down and thought about it but f**k, I’m close. Now I want to get that belt and give it to my son.

“I never, ever really thought about it, I never had it in mind. But I’m f***ing close. That’s pretty cool.”
