Glover Teixeira may just have earned the next light-heavyweight title shot with his emphatic third-round submission win of top contender Thiago Santos.

The 41-year-old emerged victorious from a back-and-forth main event at UFC Vegas 13 last night. Teixeira used his wrestling, ground strikes, and submission skills to pull of a second consecutive upset win. Teixeira stretched his winning streak to five against Santos who was heavily favoured to beat him. As was Anthony Smith when he fell to a fourth-round TKO loss at the hand of the former title challenger early this year.

UFC light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz was seriously impressed with his 205lb rival. The Polish striker is currently believed to be squaring off against the middleweight king, Israel Adesanya but took to social media to explain how Teixeira could leapfrog ‘Stylebender’.

“Great fight and incredible run by @gloverteixeira,” Blachowicz wrote. “You totally deserve to fight for the title and get taste of the #LegendaryPolishPower. If Adesanya can’t wait till March, let’s go #UFCVegas13.”

UFC president Dana White was also very impressed with Teixeira. He told Laura Sanko on the UFC Vegas 13 post-fight show that Brazilian had made him rethink the current light-heavyweight title picture, he said.

“I was sitting listening to him give his interview – he’s not wrong. It’s like, ‘I deserve the shot, I’ve been here forever.’ He’s on a streak, he looked great tonight. What’s funny is, every time I count this guy and think that I don’t know if you got it in you, he proves me wrong. He looked incredible tonight.”

“That’s something we need to figure out,” White said. “But I heard him and I agree with him and I’m taking him serious. So, yeah. I’m not going to doubt this guy any more.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

Glover Teixeira Submits Thiago Santos In The Third-Round – UFC Vegas 13 Highlights

Glover Teixeira continues to perform as an underdog, earning not just his fifth consecutive win, but also his second crack atthe UFC light heavyweight crown with a phenomenal third-round rear-naked choke victory over the returning, Thiago ‘Marreta’ Santos.

Displaying his patented power from the opening couple of exchanges, Santos hurt Teixeira early with a counter right-hook, wobbling the Minas Gerais veteran who shot desperately for a frail double-leg takedown.

In typical Teixeira fashion, the veteran managed to score a takedown eventually, grounding out Santos for the rest of the first-round, finding the target from both full-mount and full-guard to really force Santos to keep tabs on his position.

Shooting once again early in the second-frame, Teixeira would land two notable hammer-fists, as Santos struggled to offer anything significant in terms of forcing some sort of scramble – failing to create much if any space for a stand up.

In a round which played out hugely similarly to the opening frame, Teixeira kept Santos busy with an accumulation of strikes from side-control on this occasion, before almost wrapping up a late rear-naked choke, with the round ending klaxon saving Santos’ bacon.

In a massive switch of pace in the third, Santos defended another early shot from Teixeira, before countering with another left hand, dropping his compatriot and assuming half-guard himself, threatening the finish. Almost forcing the issue with a massive barrage of ground-and-pound, a fatigued Santos gave up his back with Teixeira eventually forcing the tap this time around to earn his status as the next contender to the light heavyweight throne.
