Excuse Glover Teixeira and Rashad Evans if they have sense of urgency about them. As 36-year-olds competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight division, time would not appear to be on their side.
Teixeira tipped the scales at 205 pounds ahead of his clash with Evans (205) in the UFC on Fox 19 main event on Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Women’s strawweight contenders Tecia Torres (116) and Rose Namajunas (115.5) also met their contracted weight requirements without issue at Friday’s official weigh-in.
