Teixeira improved to 8-0 as a professional fighter with the victory, the seventh knockout of his career. The 35-second finish came after Teixeira landed a brutal elbow in the clinch, immediately dropping Tafa. An extra knee forced the referee to call the action.

A recent Contender Series signing, Teixeira has never went the distance in MMA, finishing all of his eight opponents in under five minutes. Three of those wins came inside the opening minute.
