Dang?

I think he’s a lot like rampage just with better grappling “@jameskealy1: @JonnyBones what do you think of Glover?”

While on Wednesday night, taking out Ryan Bader by TKO in the first round. The win notched him a shot at the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship, and he’ll take on the winner of the Jon Jones-Alexander Gustafsson bout at UFC 165.
Teixeira wants to fight the current, long-reigning Champion, and believes that it’s the fight he’ll get when Jones defeats Gustafsson in Toronto later this month.
“My dream is to get the belt, but I believe Jon Jones will win [at UFC 165,” Teixeira said after the UFC Fight Night 28 event (transcribed by MMAJunkie.com). “That’s the way I see it, and I definitely prefer to fight him, in a certain manner because Jon Jones has a better name. He’s been a champ for a long time, so whoever goes to face him has to be very focused, very well-trained.”
Teixeira thinks he’s that man, and believes he can take Jones out when the two of them eventually meet in the cage.
Teixeira said:
“The knockout power, I believe I have it, and if I hit him, he’s going to go down.”
