Calling out the UFC veteran and former light heavy weight title challenger Glover Teixeira for a scrap did not go well for the Ion Cutelaba. The 40 year old Brazilian had a good start in 2019 with his submission win over Karl Robertson and he used his elite ground skills to submit Ion Cuelaba in round 2. Ion had an electrifying start in the first round as he unleashed an onslaught with his striking and had Glover in serious trouble. But the Brazilian survived and had a resurgence in the second as he noticed Ion slowing down and his output decreasing. Teixeira found an opening and tripped Cutelaba and put him on his back. Teixeira landed some heavy shots and forced Cutelaba to give his back and crank a rear-naked choke. Teixeira is now behind Jones for the most number of wins in UFC’s light heavy weight division.
