UFC heavyweight Tai Tuivasa put on another spectacular performance on display at UFC 269 as he knocked out his opponent Augusto Sakai in the opening seconds of the second round.

For the post-fight celebration, 'Bam Bam' climbed the octagon fence and performed his infamous 'shoey' ritual which involves drinking beer out of a shoe.

You can watch the clip of Tai Tuivasa's knockout as well as the 'shoey' below:

Doing the 'shoey' once was seemingly not enough for the Australian. During his walk back from the octagon, Tuivasa interacted with multiple fans and accepted beer from them. An example of that can be seen in the clip below:

During his media interaction in the lead-up to UFC 269, 'Bam Bam' was asked about the number of times he had performed the 'Shoey'. Tuivasa responded in a hilarious manner, saying:

"How many times has a priest been to church? It'll be up there with one of them. Not too sure, a few. . . The trick is, I don't use my shoe. i never use my shoe. I'm not that silly. But yeah, it's usually someone else's shoe. I don't know, I've never really done one out of my own." said Tuivasa.
