Recently, the Aussie fighter destroyed his former opponent, Greg Hardy, on the internet for his comments on their fight. And now he has struck again.

‘Bam Bam’ posted a picture of the Brazilian heavyweight Carlos Felipe trolling him after his suspension. In the caption, he wrote, “How this fat f*ck @cfcabralboi has been popped twice for steroids will amaze me forever! You was on steroids and you still lost too an old man #uselesscunt #bumboi.”

‘Boi’ tested positive for boldenone, an anabolic steroid after his fight in October last year. Hence, the Nevada State Athletic Commission has suspended the fighter for 18 months.

The Brazilian made his UFC debut in 2020 and has competed in five UFC bouts. He is currently 3-2 in the promotion. And will not compete for over a year due to the suspension.

Meanwhile, ‘Bam Bam’ is currently on a rampage and is unbeaten since 2020. He is on a four-fight undefeated streak and has finished all his previous opponents via KO/TKO, three of which came in the first round.

He finished a fighter from the top-15 of the heavyweight division in UFC last month. Interestingly, Tuivasa might return to action next month to do the same.
