Glover Teixeira has shared the Octagon with both main event fighters at UFC 197.

Teixeira, who returns to action this weekend against Rashad Evans at UFC on FOX 19, bested Ovince Saint Preux and was defeated by Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title.

So, with Jones and OSP set to meet for the interim belt, who better than Teixeira to discuss what might transpire when the cage door closes in Las Vegas.

“I think Jon Jones has a big advantage because he was in camp already, and he’s got a better ground game and is a better wrestler,” said Teixeira, during an interview with MMAjunkie. “‘OSP’ is a tricky fighter. He’s got that chance, but it’s going to be a tough fight for him.”

Teixeira scored a win over Saint Preux last year and will carry a 24-4 overall mark into his bout with Evans, a former champion himself.

“Jon Jones is a champion for a reason,” Teixeira said. “He’s a very tough, well-rounded fighter. It’s one of those things. I’m not rooting for anybody over here. I think they both deserve a chance because they work hard.”

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones believes he knows full-well why Daniel Cormier offered to train Ovince Saint Preux.

Saint Preux has agreed to step in for Cormier and face Jones this month at UFC 197 for the interim title after an injury sent the current champion to the sideline.

On Monday, “DC” threw out an offer to OSP and his team, saying they could come to San Jose and train at AKA with the former Olympian and his staff.

Here is Jones’ thoughts on the matter:

“Bones” also acknowledged his past, replying to someone about the message being deleted. Jones has been known to post items on social media and immediately delete them:

In the immediate aftermath of the disappointing news that Daniel Cormier would be forced out of his scheduled rematch with Jon Jones at UFC 197, “Bones” took to his twitter to voice a positive message for the champion and his most bitter rival.

It has since been announced that Jones will remain on the April 23 card, taking on late replacement and No. 6 ranked Ovince Saint Preux.

While “Bones” has made it clear that he appreciates Saint Preux stepping up on short notice, one would have to assume that he’s a bit let down at the circumstances.

The ex-champion was set to make his return to action, and attempt to secure the title he had never technically lost after dealing with a plethora of legal issues over the last year.

Jones and Cormier had also been in the midst of an intense buildup to a rematch a year and a half in the making.

With that being said, it wasn’t surprising to see Jones once again take to his twitter, this time sending a shot “DC’s” way:

A. Jones Tweet

Jones has since deleted the tweet.

Cormier was recently seen on a sneak peak of the UFC’s “Counterpunch” show, saying that he was willing to die in order to topple Jones.

In the end, “Bones” clearly feels as if that wasn’t true.
