This is the UFC 312 live blog for Justin Tafa vs. Tallison Teixeira, the main card heavyweight fight this Saturday in Sydney.
Australia’s own Tafa (7-4, 1 NC) recently saw a three-fight win streak snapped with a decision loss to Karl Williams in March 2024. Prior to that setback (excluding a no-contest), “Bad Man” had scored back-to-back-to-back knockouts of Austen Lane, Parker Porter, and Harry Hunsucker. All seven of Tafa’s career wins have come by KO/TKO.
Teixeira (7-0) is also known for his finishing ways, with all of his wins coming by way of knockout or submission. The towering 6-foot-7 Brazilian is yet to face an opponent capable of making out of the first round against him, including Arthur Lopes, who Teixeira KO’d in under two minutes to earn a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series this past September.
