UFC Fight Night 73 results: Glover Teixeira submits Ovince Saint Preux, calls

Teixeira (23-4) snapped a two-fight skid on Saturday, submitting Saint Preux at the 3:10 mark of the third round for his sixth UFC win. Herrera will be making his UFC debut in this fight and he is a longtime veteran of the Real Fighting Championships promotion.

“Teixeira, who battled for the light heavyweight title against Jones in April 2014, thanked his trainers for getting him back into top form and on the hunt for UFC gold once again, “[UFC light heavyweight champ Daniel] Cormier, I told you before, I’m coming for you, baby”, he said.

Saint-Preux will get frustrated before beginning to take more and more risks and Teixeira takes advantage.

Glover Teixeira: “Of course, there’s nothing I can say against my last fight; all judges saw it for him”. St. Preux’s last two victories came by way of that beautifully set up, “open-door” hook after his opponent rushed in. The explosive fighter’s approach is extremely unorthodox, and OSP has acknowledged as much.

Good win for Jared Rosholt, grinding out another victory against Tim Johnson, but can’t help but feel like poor Fight IQ from the man with the tremendous duster was the actual turning point. “I just wanted to put a show for y’all”.

BK: It was mighty tempting to go for Alvey because of that nuclear missile of a hook at his disposal, but I can’t in good faith pick the guy with one weapon, no matter how powerful it is. Johnson will also come into the fight on a four fight winning streak, last defeating Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs. Mir.

Fighting in your hometown affords certain luxuries.

Let me be clear about this: Johnson won the fight; he dictated the tempo and placement of the fight and landed the heavier shots in both the first and second rounds. “There’s times I’m thinking this fight isn’t going to make it past the third or fourth round”. Nunes is easily the better striker when compared to McMann, but McMann’s wrestling is her best weapon and she grounds Nunes to earn a decision win.
