The late-career resurgence of Glover Teixeira continued at UFC on ESPN 17.
Teixeira spoiled the return of Thiago Santos, as he tapped out his fellow former title challenger with a rear-naked choke at the 1:49 mark of Round 3 in the evening’s light heavyweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night. It was Santos’ first Octagon appearance in nearly 16 months after injuring his knee in a title bout loss to Jon Jones at UFC 239 in July 2019, and while he looked dangerous during standup exchanges, he had no answers for Teixeira’s prowess on the canvas.
