Gus has a huge reach advantage over Texeira. This is what made those uppercuts, hooks, spinning elbows work. If you're the shorter fighter with less reach, no way in hell do any of those strikes connect.
Glover also had no way of cornering Gus. He didn't have the clinch or wrestling game and Gus straight up turned his back and ran away half the fight.
Gus looked good this week because it was a good match up for him but I'd still favor Jones, Cormier, and Rumble.
