UFC Macau results: Pavlovich stops Teixeira in 39 seconds

UFC Macau delivered a card full of finishes on May 30, 2026, headlined by Sergey Pavlovich's devastating 39-second knockout of Tallison Teixeira in the heavyweight main event.

Teixeira, nicknamed "Xicao," entered the bout ranked 13th in the heavyweight division and carried considerable physical tools heading into the fight. The 26-year-old Brazilian stands six-foot-seven, 201 cm, with an 83-inch reach that stretches out to 211 cm, and had posted a 9-1-0 professional record coming in. Fighting out of Team Lucas Mineiro, he had shown genuine striking output in the UFC, landing 5.02 significant strikes per minute at a 64 percent accuracy rate, while also contributing 2.48 takedowns per 15 minutes. None of it was enough to survive Pavlovich's opening assault, as the fight was stopped in under a minute.

Elsewhere on the card, Song Yadong submitted Deiveson Figueiredo via guillotine choke at 4:42 of Round 2, and Alonzo Menifield stopped Zhang Mingyang by TKO at 4:15 of the opening round. Kai Asakura added another finish to the night, knocking out Cameron Smazerman at 1:50 of Round 1.

The evening also produced an unusual result when Sumudaerji and Alex Perez were ruled a no contest in Round 2. The 30-year-old southpaw, known as "The Tibetan Eagle," carries a 19-7-0 record and averages 4.48 significant strikes per minute, but the bout ended prematurely after an accidental groin strike left Perez unable to continue.

Why it matters

• Pavlovich's 39-second finish reinforces his status as one of the most dangerous heavyweights on the roster and raises serious questions about Teixeira's path back up the rankings
• Song Yadong's submission victory over a former flyweight champion signals his continued rise in the bantamweight division
• The Sumudaerji-Perez no contest leaves their rivalry unresolved, likely setting up a rematch discussion
