August 30, 2022: Tai Tuivasa revealed that he, and not UFC, pay for his flights himself when traveling for fights.
“I pay for my own tickets. I just get my own flights all the time. I did a lot of time in the back of the plane, now it’s time to sit up in the front. I would agree(that UFC should be paying) but that’s another argument for another time I suppose.”
