The Real Main Event: Johnson vs Teixeira

[Me&MrJones]

21-5 Johnson #2 vs #3 Teixeira 25-4
KO: 15-15
SUB: 0-7
DEC: 6-3

Glover calling out Johnson who was basically waiting for his next title shot against either Jones or Cormier, Johnson steps up and accepts this fight!


Dana White, of all people, never even thought about that fight but he liked it!


- Johnson is 10-1 at Light Heavyweight
- Johnson has a two fight win streak (Manuwa - KO, Bader - KO)
- Johnson's first stint 7-4 (at 170 and 185), second stint 5-1 (at 205)

- Teixeira has a 2nd degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu
- Teixeira is on a three fight win streak (Saint Preux - SUB, Cummins - KO, Evans - KO)
- Teixeira is 8-2 in the UFC (lost to Jones and Davis by decision)

When? UFC 202

The Real Main Event

 

[Platinum]

If Glover fights smart, he'll get a submission

 

[CIAPuppetShow]

Glover by TKO

 

[MMACroatia]

Rumble with another KO/TKO

 

[Veedski]

Rumble via early ko or glover via late submission

 

[Harlekin]

It's a 3 round fight right?
Texeira doesn't have DCs wrestling to tire him out.
Remember Rumble's stamina against Phil Davis? And that was when he was heavier and before he promised to work on his wrestling and cardio.
Rumble by destruction.

 

[Werdun]

Sadly Johnson will hurt and finish Glover in the first

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

i agree!
