UFC light heavyweight contender Thiago Santos has some kind words for his fellow Brazilian Glover Teixeira after their UFC Vegas 13 fight.<\/p>\n

Santos and Teixeira collided in the main event of the card, which went down last Saturday inside the UFC APEX facility. While Santos entered this fight as a sizeable betting favourite, he ultimately came up short, succumbing to a submission in the third round.<\/p>\n

This was of course not the outcome Santos wanted, but the knockout artist has been the picture of class in defeat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Monday morning Instagram post, Santos took the opportunity to praise Teixeira for his performance in their fight. He also shared his belief that his rival has earned a crack at UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz.<\/p>\n
