Wins have always been at a premium in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s light heavyweight division. Glover Teixeira and Rashad Evans know this truth all too well.
Former title challenger will meet former champion when Teixeira takes on Evans in the UFC on Fox 19 headliner this Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The original Lyoto Machida-Dan Henderson co-main event was scrapped at the last minute after Machida admitted to using a banned substance, leaving women’s strawweights Rose Namajunas and Tecia Torres to fill the void with a high-stakes rematch.
