Seven of these two heavyweights' last nine fights ended by knockout, six of them in the first round, five of those inside ninety seconds.
Of the nine fights in these two men's recorded last five, seven ended by knockout. Six of those came in the first round. Five were over inside ninety seconds. Whatever else can be said about Shamil Gaziev against Tallison Teixeira, it is not going to take up much of the evening. Gaziev is 15-3 and 36 years old, with seven recorded UFC fights. He stopped Kennedy Nzechukwu in 1:20 of round one in A…
Gaziev (15-3) stopped Kennedy Nzechukwu in 1:20 of round one in August for his first win in eighteen months, having been knocked out in his two previous outings — by Brando Pericic in 3:44 of round two in May and Waldo Cortes-Acosta in 1:22 of round one in November 2025. His 8.64 striking score is the fourth-highest on the card; his 49.0 momentum is the lowest on it, and his 34.0 chin rating is the reason.
Teixeira (9-2) is four fights into his UFC run and two of them ended with him out cold inside forty seconds — Derrick Lewis at 0:35 in July 2025, Sergei Pavlovich at 0:39 in May. The two wins are a 0:35 knockout of Justin Tafa and a decision over Tai Tuivasa in January. His 48.9 composite is the lowest on the card, but at 200.7cm and 210.8cm of reach he is the tallest and longest fighter in Doha.
Seven of nine recent fights between them ended by knockout, six in round one
Teixeira's 210.8cm reach, the longest on the card, against Gaziev's 6.96 pressure
Chin ratings of 34.0 and 56.0 — four stoppage losses between them in their last seven fights
A 9.8-year age gap and a 3.0 composite gap, the third-narrowest in Doha
Both submission scores at 0.0 and two of the lowest wrestling figures on the card — nowhere to hide
A 3.0 composite gap is inside the margin of error; the 0.55 is barely a lean
Teixeira has only four recorded fights and 48.9 is the lowest composite on the card, so his numbers are both thin and poor
If Teixeira fights disciplined at range for even one round, 12.7cm of reach against a 3.14-volume opponent is a winning formula he has not yet shown he can execute
Gaziev is 36, has won once in eighteen months, and has been stopped twice in that span himself
