LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 13: Santos vs. Teixeira Results throughout the night (Sat. 7th. November 2020) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. One-time UFC light heavyweight title challengers, Thiago ‘Marreta’ Santos, and Glover Teixeira headline tonight’s event in ‘Sin City’ – hoping to stamp their respective tickets as the next […]
One-time UFC light heavyweight title challengers, Thiago ‘Marreta’ Santos, and Glover Teixeira headline tonight’s event in ‘Sin City’ – hoping to stamp their respective tickets as the next contender to Jan Blachowicz’s 205-pound throne, albeit after the rise of middleweight champion, Israel ‘The Last Stylebender’ Adesanya.
Returning to action from a slew of major leg and knee injuries suffered in his tight five-round affair with two-time champion, Jon ‘Bones’ Jones back in July of last year at UFC 239, 36-year-old bruiser, Santos dropped his first defeat at 205-pounds in his razor-thin decision loss to Jones.
Making a timely rise to title challenger status, the American Top Team trainee had blasted through Eryk Anders, Jimi Manuwa, and scored a knockout victory over current best, the aforenoted, Blachowicz at UFC Fight Night Prague back in February of last year.
41-year-old Minas Gerais favourite, Teixeira would not only book his place in a second light heavyweight title fight under the promotion’s banner with a win over Santos, but would also secure his eye-catching fifth straight win. The poised boxer and grappler completely descimated common-opponent, Anthony Smith in the main event of UFC Fight Night Jacksonville in May, adding to a winning run which includes prior victories over Nikita Krylov, Ion Cutelaba, an Karl Roberson.
In the night’s co-main event, veteran former UFC heavyweight kingpin, Andrei ‘The Pitbull’ Arlovski returns for the second time this year, as he welcomes Canadian division prospect, Tanner ‘The Bulldozer’ Boser.
Sharing the above mentioned Jacksonville card with Teixeira, Arlovski returned to winning ways with a unanimous decision win over Philippe Lins.
Hoping to score his third consecutive win, Boser rebounded from a unanimous decision loss to fellow prospect, Ciryl Gane, with a pair of knockout victories of his own both common-opposition, Lins and Raphael Pessoa, in June and July this year, respectively.

Round 1: It’s a feeling out process in the first minute of this fight. Uriah Hall is edging forward as Anderson Silva moves around the octagon.

Silva tries a kick upstairs but Hall sees it coming and gets his hands up to block it. ‘Prime Time’ tries a high kick of his own but slips.

Hall manages to land a one-two that just puts an end to the relentless attacks from Silva. The former middleweight king lands a beautiful spinning heel kick to the calf of his opponent. Hall puts together a couple of punches, he needs more of it. Silva storms forward with a three punch combo, looks like two of them landed just before the horn sounds to end round one.
Round 2: Once again not a lot is happening at the start of this round. Both men are burning lot’s of energy, moving a fair deal too but nothing significant has been thrown or landed. Two minutes in now and Hall and Silva begin to trade kicks. Just as the fight looks to be building momentum we have a stoppage due to loose tape on the glove of Hall. We are back underway, Silva begins advancing forward in the quirky way we’ve seem him do so throughout his Hall of Fame career. ‘The Spider’ lands a couple of low kicks. Hall just about lands with a jab. This has been a really dull second stanza. Hall spins for a kick which somewhat lands on the chest of Silva. Both men exchange powerful jabs for the most significant shots of the five minutes before the round ends.
Round 3: Silva lands an unorthodox punch to the body at the start of the third round. He goes high with the kick but misses. Hall pops out the jab but doesn’t follow up with anything. The 36-year-old almost sneaks a kick of his own upstairs. A lot of hand fighting, not a lot of actual fighting. Hall lands another jab. Silva lands low with the kick, Hall spins and misses. They are getting a little loose now. Silva tries an axe kick a follow up with an overhand. The Brazilian is starting to gain some momentum now. Silva lands a punch and Hall seems to signal for an eye poke – Herb Dean waves away his protests. Silva lands on the way in then clinches against the fence. He’s stomping down on his opponents foot – that looks painful. As round three draws to a close both men thrown down and Hall gets the better of it. A right over the top drops Silva. Hall is swarming on the floor looking for the finish but the bell saves ‘The Spider’ who was hanging on.
Round 4: Silva seems fine at the start of round four. He again tries for another head kick which doesn’t quite come off. ‘The Spider’ comes flying in with wild punches but he gets dropped again on his way in. Hall has plenty of time to work his ground strikes this time and gets the finish.
OFFICIAL RESULT:Uriah Hall def. Anderson Silva via TKO in round four.
