A generation of MMA fans likely can’t remember the last time, also the first time, that Glover Teixeira fought for the UFC light heavyweight championship because they didn’t see it. It took place against a young Jon Jones on April 26, 2014 at UFC 172. Teixeira was on an incredible 20-fight winning streak, including his first five in the UFC, when he stepped into the octagon that night in Baltimore. What happened over the course of 25 minutes was a display of dominance from Jones, who won a clean-sweep unanimous decision against Teixeira. For the next four years, Teixeira would get close to another title shot but never broke through. After a follow-up loss to Phil Davis, Teixeira went on a three-fight winning streak before he was knocked out in 13 seconds by Anthony Johnson at UFC 202.
