UFC 312 Update: Heavyweights Justin Tafa, Tallison Teixeira to Meet in Sydney

A heavyweight tilt pitting Justin Tafa against Tallison Teixeira has been added to the UFC 312 lineup.

The Las Vegas-based promotion recently announced the booking. UFC 312 takes place on Feb. 8 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, and is headlined by a middleweight title rematch between Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland.

Tafa fought just once in 2024, dropping a unanimous decision to Karl Williams at UFC on ESPN 53 in March. That ended a four-bout unbeaten streak for the 30-year-old Aussie, who scored knockout wins over Austen Lane, Parker Porter and Harry Hunsucker during that run.
