WATCH: Glover Teixeira Stuns Thiago Santos At UFC Vegas 13
Glover Teixeira was able to snag an upset victory over Thiago Santos.
This past Saturday night, November 7, Teixeira went one-on-one with Santos. This was Santos’ first bout since July 2019. Santos was on the sidelines for over a year recovering from torn ligaments in both knees.
Teixeira survived an onslaught from Santos in the third round and was able to take his opponent’s back. From there, he locked up a rear-naked choke for the submission finish.
Here are highlights of the UFC Vegas 13 main event.
