At heavyweight, ranked number 13 Tallison Teixeira faces Sergey Pavlovich in what shapes up as a striking-heavy affair. The 26-year-old Brazilian, who trains out of Team Lucas Mineiro, carries an impressive 9-1-0 record into the bout. Standing six-foot-seven with an 83-inch reach, Teixeira brings elite physical tools to the cage. His numbers back up the eye test — he lands 5.02 significant strikes per minute at a 64 percent accuracy rate, among the highest in the division, and adds 2.48 takedowns per 15 minutes. He tipped the scales at 116.57 kg, with Pavlovich coming in at 113.39 kg.
Also on the bantamweight slate, Kai Asakura meets Cameron Smotherman, both weighing in at 61.46 kg. Smotherman, a 28-year-old from the United States training at Metro Fight Club, holds a 12-6-0 record. He produces 5.1 significant strikes per minute, though his 39 percent accuracy reflects a high-volume, pressure-oriented approach. Standing five-foot-nine with a 69-inch reach, he will face a reach and height test against Asakura.
Why it matters
- Teixeira's combination of size, accuracy, and takedown output makes his heavyweight clash with Pavlovich a divisional measuring stick for the Brazilian prospect
- Both bantamweight bouts carry title-picture relevance given the star power of Figueiredo and the regional prominence Asakura brings to the card
- A clean weigh-in means no catchweight adjustments, preserving the competitive integrity of all scheduled matchups
