David made his MMA debut on October 19, 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 April 5, 2014, and on November 22, 2014, he defeated Gaik Pogosyan by a first-round TKO due to knees.[5][6]
On April 4, 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]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]
