Glover Teixeira Needs A Win To Make A Push For The Title
4 years agoGlover Teixeira (31-7) enters Saturday's main event on a four-fight winning streak. The 41-year-old Brazilian could potentially be on his last wave toward the title. Earning a victory over the returning Thiago Santos could put Teixeira right up there for an immediate title shot. Fighting under the UFC banner since 2012, Teixeira does an amazing job mixing his standup and ground gamed, averaging 3.74 significant strikes per minute along with 1.87 takedowns per 15 minutes. DraftKings has the veteran listed at $7,400. Teixeira averages 84.7 fantasy points per contest as well. Santos is going to come out hot, so we need to see if Teixeira can weather the storm.
