Glover Teixeira vs. Misha Cirkunov moved to UFC on FOX 26

UFC Sao Paulo took its first hit on Tuesday.

Glover Teixeira vs. Misha Cirkunov, slated as the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 119 in Brazil on Oct. 28, was moved to the UFC on FOX 26 card in Winnipeg, Canada, on Dec. 16. Teixeira got injured in training and the promotion decided to postpone the match-up, the UFC announced.

Teixeira (26-6) has fought twice in 2017, scoring a unanimous decision victory over Jared Cannonier in February but suffering a fifth-round knockout loss to Alexander Gustafsson three months later in Sweden.
