DWCS 72 video: Hulking 6-foot-7 heavyweight Tallison Teixeira bludgeons Arthur Lopes

Tallison Teixeira added another nasty knockout to his highlight reel Tuesday – and a UFC contract may follow, as well.

At Dana White’s Contender Series 72, Teixeira (7-0) absorbed blows from a game Arthur Lopes (6-2) before he landed a massive knockout with a right-hand and hammerfist. The stoppage came at 1:57 of Round 2 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

At 6-foot-7, Teixeira would match Robelis Despaigne and Alexander Volkov as the tallest fighter on the promotion’s roster right now. All seven of his fights have ended inside the distance including six knockouts and one submission.

Lopes loses for the first time since 2015. Prior to Tuesday’s fight he had only competed once since August 2018.
