Teixeria was begging to get finished

Sloppy, awful fight. Teixeira is not it man, he is so uncoordinated and awkward and he reacts abysmally to being hit - one of the worst I've ever seen in terms of his reactions and body language. He was very fortunate that Tai was exhausted and sloppy - a fresher guy would've murdered him in the 3rd round.
 
Tallison is an example of what the UFC should not do with a prospect.

The guy entered the UFC, demolished one of the Tafa's and immediately got a ranking spot and main event against Derrick Lewis. What the hell? Instead of building a 25 year old HW prospect up, giving him some cannon fodder first and let him develop, he's now forced to fight the top15 guys when he clearly lacks the skills and experience to hang out with them.

He probably loses 2 of his next 3 and gets cut, and the UFC may blame themselves for not giving a young HW guy a proper chance to develop.
 
And then they both can't get up at the end.

Both guys sitting on their asses leaning on the cage sucking air.
