Early career

[edit | edit source]

Still competing in kickboxing and muay thai at the time, David and his brother Daniel Teymur started to train MMA in 2012–2013.

David made his MMA debut on 19 October 2013 at International Ring Fight Arena 5, where he lost by decision against Mattias Rosenlind.[4]

He rebounded from the loss as he had his next two fights in the same promotion, defeating Veselin Dukov by unanimous decision on 5 April 2014, and on 22 November 2014 he defeated Gaik Pogosyan by a first-round TKO due to knees.[5][6]

On 4 April 2015 he fought Robin Tuomi at Trophy MMA 6.[7] Teymur won the fight by TKO due to leg kicks and punches in the first round.[8]

The Ultimate Fighter

[edit | edit source]

In August 2015 it was announced that Teymur was selected for The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber.[9]

To get into the TUF house, he defeated Thibault Gouti by unanimous decision.[10]

In the elimination round he fought Johnny Nuñez. Teymur dropped Nunez with knees to the body early and with a left hook late in the fight. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[11]

In the quarter-finals he fought Marcin Wrzosek. He lost by majority decision.[12]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Teymur made his UFC debut against TUF teammate and fellow Swedish fighter Martin Svensson on 27 February 2016 at UFC Fight Night 84.[13] He won the fight by TKO after he knocked Svensson down with an uppercut in the second round.[14]

His next fight was against Jason Novelli on 6 August 2016 at UFC Fight Night 92.[15] Teymur scored a knockdown from a straight left hand in round 1. In round 2 he scored two knockdowns, first by another straight left and moments later he won the fight by knockout after dropping Novelli to the canvas by a right-left hook combination.[16]

In his third fight with the promotion Teymur took on highly touted Lando Vannata on 4 March 2017 in the co-main event at UFC 209.[17][18] Despite coming in as a 3-1 underdog, Teymur got the upset and won the fight by unanimous decision.[19][20] The fight was awarded Fight of the Night honors.[21]

Teymur next fought undefeated Drakkar Klose on 2 December 2017 at UFC 218.[22] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[23]
