The UFC announced last night that Glover Teixeira will face the winner of this month’s Jones vs. Gustafsson UFC 165 main event.
Glover successfully dispatched Ryan Bader with a first round TKO in Brazil to earn the shot.
The Champ, Jon Jones, chimed in via twitter with his thoughts on the potential new challenger.
Here is what he said:
Bader got way too excited.. Cost him that fight.. Gotta stay relaxed out there
