Did anyone just see that lying ass Bullshit? Something about Glover pushing Jon Jones to the brink of defeat or something. Such brutal dishonesty.
He was until Jones started his dirty tactics with his finger jabbing style. Watch the fight again and see how as soon as Jones gets in trouble, he uses his open fingers to the rescue! Karma is a bitch though!
The UFC's marketing is getting worse with every promo. It is straight-up lying at this point, not just hyperbole.
Thats weird, I dont remember him using his fingers at range much. I remember him standing in the pocket trading bomb for bomb. I know at least one bad poke happened but lets not pretend thats what won him the fight..
It's not a big deal. He give Jones a lot of trouble early and had his moments late, was really his grit that pulled it out more than anything technical. Not a round went by that Teixeira didn't land some serious punches, especially uppercuts. Teixeira might have even won if he had better cagecraft. He really should never have been able to reach Jones, but he was able to hurt him in the first round after coming underneath his jab with a right to the body. The moment Jones realized his advantage against the fence, the fight started getting less competitive. Before then, in rounds 1 and 2, he was making it a fight. I gave him the first round, and he was very competitive in the second. Jones/Winkeljohn began adjusting as the fight progressed like they usually do, and won the last three rounds with increasing dominance.
