In a battle of light-heavyweight title hopefuls Glover Teixeira proved superior against Misha Cirkunov.
While Cirkunov (13-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) started to gain some momentum on the feet, Teixeira (27-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) wisely took the fight to the floor, where he threatened with a choke but ultimately ended the contest with some old-fashioned ground-and-pound blows.
The light heavyweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC on FOX 26 event at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It aired on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
