Glover Teixeira joined the UFC in 2012 and put together a five-fight winning streak to open his career with the promotion. That run, which included four stoppages and one decision, earned him a title shot. Teixeira lost that fight to Jon Jones. On Saturday, the 41-year-old defeated Thiago Santos to earn a second UFC five-fight winning streak. Like his first run, this unbeaten streak includes four stoppages and one decision.
Santos had Teixeira in trouble with strikes in the first round, but the ever resilient Teixeira earned a takedown and kept the fight on the mat with his ground strikes.
