Glover Teixeira: "Jimi Manuwa isn’t qualified to fight for the belt”

[Jermei]

Glover just called him out without actually saying it.

Glover is talking about the old UFC with ranks, belts, & contenders this new UFC it's Twitter followers, popularity, and posing.

Technically Glover's right, but who else is there at the moment to challenge for the belt in the LHW division? The top contenders have fought for the title and lost, besides Glover, who recently got KO'd by Johnson in a title eliminator. Granted, Manuwa got KO'd by Johnson as well, but he's had some fights that he finished since then. Not a lot of options with Jones out, so i'd be fine with either Manuwa or Glover challenging for the belt as there isn't much else the UFC can do right now.
