Glover Teixeira vs Patrick Cummins fight to serve as UFC Fight Night 77 co-main event on Nov. 7

Glover Teixeira aimed high for his next fight to happen against Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, but Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) delivered Patrick Cummins instead.

It's a 205-pound showdown that will serve as the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 77, which will take place inside Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Nov. 7, 2015, according to UFC.com.

Teixeira -- who unsuccessfully challenged then-champion Jon Jones for the division crown in April 2014 -- most recently snapped a two-fight losing streak at the expense of Ovince Saint Preux earlier this month via rear-naked choke in round three.
