Earlier today (Sat. April 27, 2019), UFC Fort Lauderdale took place from the BB&T Center in Sunrise, California.

Closing out the early prelims on ESPN 2 was a phenomenal performance from longtime veteran Jim Miller. Miller took on Jason Gonzalez in lightweight action. He was able to get the fight to the ground and sink in a rear-naked choke just two minutes into the first round. After forcing the submission, Miller left the Octagon with the victory, and a $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus.

On the main card, another longtime veteran in Glover Teixeira also proved he’s still a force to be reckoned with at 205 pounds. The Brazilian submitted Ion Cutelaba in the second round of their fight with a rear-naked choke. Teixeira’s performance was good enough for a $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus.

Finally, in one of the most highly-anticipated fights of the night, Mike Perry picked up a huge win over Alex Oliveira. Both men left everything they had in the cage for three rounds, exchanging heavy strikes and leaving a blood-stained Octagon. When it was all said and done, Perry took home a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards. However, both men will be getting a $50,000 bonus for Fight Of The Night.

Riding high off his first-round submission of Karl Roberson, Glover Teixeira has called out fellow Brazilian Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.

Score one for the older guys. Teixeira looked great in his victory last weekend at UFC Brooklyn. He was all smiles after the fact as well.

Shortly after he got his hand raised, Teixeira spoke with Combate
and revealed that he would love to share the Octagon with former light heavyweight champion “Shogun” Rua.

“I want Shogun because he’s a legend of the sport,” Teixeira said. “I respect him very much. He has good style and it matches with mine. I want to fight him in Brazil. I don’t know when it doesn’t matter, we still need to work that out. For now, I just want a beer and enjoy my win in Brazil.”

Teixeira weathered the storm early on as Roberson landed some hard punches. However, the former 205-pound title challenger felt the tide turning when his opponent gassed.

“I made a mistake,” Teixeira said. “I went for his leg, I waited longer than necessary and I took some hard elbows. But I pulled guard and then I was able to block the elbows from under him. I tried a reversal, but it didn’t work, but then I ended up on top anyway and I could feel he was tiring out. I think his adrenaline was too high and I was able to recover.”

Although Glover didn’t specify when he would like to fight his fellow Brazilian, it would only make sense for matchmakers to book it for the upcoming UFC 237 card in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil.
