Bellator 143: Ewerton Teixeira promotional debut set, collides with Vinicius Queiroz in Texas

The Spike TV-televised main card for Bellator 143: "Warren vs. Davis," which takes place inside Statefarm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas, on Sept. 25, 2015, is now complete with the announcement of a big fight.

Literally.

Heavyweight kickboxer Ewerton Teixeira, who was signed to Bellator back in May, will step into the Bellator MMA cage for the first time ever and battle veteran Vinicius Queiroz.

Teixeira holds a respectable 11-4 record in kickboxing, but is also undefeated (3-0) in mixed martial arts (MMA) to date. Queiroz, meanwhile, has won two of his last three fights, last knocking out Lavar "Big" Johnson in 23 seconds in 2013.
