Heavyweight Prospect Tallison Teixeira to Make UFC Debut Against Justin Tafa at UFC 312
Heavyweight prospect Tallison Teixeira is set to make his highly anticipated UFC debut against Justin Tafa at UFC 312 in Sydney, Australia. The 6-foot-7 Brazilian, known for his devastating knockout power, boasts an undefeated record of 7-0, with all victories coming by way of knockout or submission. Teixeira earned his UFC contract with a first-round knockout of Arthur Lopes on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2024, impressing fans and the UFC brass alike.
Tafa, a New Zealand native with a record of 7-4 (1 NC), is coming off a decision loss to Karl Williams in March 2024, which snapped a three-fight win streak. Known for his heavy hands, Tafa has secured all seven of his career wins by knockout. Despite being the underdog, Tafa’s experience in the UFC and durability make him a formidable opponent for the debuting Teixeira.
The fight, scheduled for the main card, highlights a significant size disparity, with Teixeira holding a seven-inch height and nine-inch reach advantage over Tafa. While Teixeira’s explosive power and undefeated record make him a favorite, Tafa’s resilience and ability to test newcomers could pose a challenge. The bout promises fireworks, as both fighters are known for their finishing abilities and aggressive styles.
