Will debut in UFC 310
Teixeira will make his UFC debut against Lukasz Brzeski in a heavyweight matchup at UFC 310 on Dec. 7, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Teixeira is just 24 years old, and he's massive even for a heavyweight, standing at 6-foot-7 with an 83-inch reach, so he has the physical tools to move quickly in a division that always needs depth. He's yet to taste defeat as a pro in his career, and that streak could continue in his UFC debut, as Brzeski owns a 1-4 mark across his first five UFC bouts.

UFC adds undefeated heavyweight
Teixeira defeated Arthur Lopes via KO (punches) at 1:57 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series 72. After the show, he was one of five fighters to earn an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Teixeira entered this fight as a massive betting favorite in the (-1200) range, so while he did exactly what he was supposed to do, you can only fight who's put in front of you. Likely recognizing his long odds, Lopes blitzed Teixeira from the start and the two were content to engage with reckless abandon. A massive right hand eventually found its mark for Teixeira, and he connected on one more hammerfist on the ground before the referee was able to step in. The UFC, which always needs heavyweight depth, finds itself with a highly intriguing prospect on its hands. Teixeira is just 24 years old, and he's massive even for a heavyweight, standing at 6-foot-7 with an 83-inch reach. He could easily find himself a big betting favorite again as he works his way through the fringes of the UFC heavyweight division in his early fights.
