In a crazy three-round war, Glover Teixeira managed to get the job done against Thiago Santos at UFC VEGAS 13: ‘SANTOS VS TEIXEIRA’. After being rocked, the 41-year-old managed to turn it around and tap out ‘Marreta’ shortly after with a rear-naked choke. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the bout.
Been a fan of @gloverteixeira for so long, how great would it be for him to become the old UFC world champion?!? #UFCVegas13

That being said, Santos is coming back from a long layoff and big knee surgery. I thought it was going to be a quick win from him, but Teixeira came back big https://t.co/seVNkjWEyO

Oof! Great to see Thiago back but his ground game needs a massive overhaul. Classic Glover Texeira. Tough as nails, cooked his food and then finished when he needed to.
