UFC Stockholm: Teixeira thinks win over Gustafsson puts him in line for title shot

Forget Jimi Manuwa, MMA veteran Glover Teixeira thinks he should be next in line for a light heavyweight title shot with a win over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC Fight Night 109 this weekend.

The former title challenger lost to Jon Jones via unanimous decision in 2014 but believes he has almost earned enough ammunition to fight the winner of the championship rematch between Jones and Daniel Cormier at UFC 214.

Speaking to Damon Martin of FOX Sports, Teixeira spoke of his desire to challenge for the title again.
