The analyst cites Tuivasa's Saturday bout with short-notice replacement Louie Sutherland at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, less than 24 hours before the event.
Sutherland is 0-2 in the UFC, with both defeats by first-round finish, while Tuivasa is on a six-fight skid but has largely faced top-15 heavyweight opposition.
The pick frames the matchup as a must-win chance for the 33-year-old Australian, with hometown support and knockout power seen outweighing concerns about durability and confidence.
