Tuivasa is absorbing 5.18 strikes and has a striking defense of 44%. He has not shown any grappling ability and has a takedown defense of 57%.

Teixeira enters this fight with an MMA record of 8-1 and 2-1 in the UFC. He is averaging 12.83 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 59%. Teixeira absorbs 8.98 strikes and has a striking defense of 56%.

Teixeira is the significant favorite, and Tuivasa cannot be trusted; therefore, we will be looking for this fight to end in the first round. Tuivasa has seen 5 of his last 10 UFC fights end in the first round, while Teixeira has seen all 3 of his UFC fights do the same. For that reason, also backing this fight to end in round 1 will be our lean.
