On paper, this fight figures to be an exciting scrap, as both men are known for their all-action styles.However, Rongzhu was the last fighter to make weight, coming in at 156 pounds. Steele is a monster, and being in anything less than top condition could be bad for any opponent. Itll be interesting to see if Steele is able to get the finish quickly on Saturday or if Rongzhu is ready and able to test the highly touted newcomer.SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 07: Colby Thicknesse of Australia poses on the scale during the UFC 312 ...

(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCTalisson Teixeira, another potential star from the most recent season of DWCS, will also make his main roster debut. Hell face the rugged but one-dimensional Justin Tafa on the main card.Teixeira is a 6-foot-7 heavyweight with excellent long-range striking and a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He has an interesting skill set and enviable length. Considering how weak the current heavyweight scene is in the UFC, Teixeira has a chance to rise quickly in the ranks.Hell get his first test on Saturday. If he wins impressively, dont be surprised if he is ranked in the top 15 in the next UFC rankings.
