Glover Teixeira showed his dominance on the mat as he took Misha Cirkunov off his feet and finished him in swift fashion in Winnipeg, Canada. Teixeira, a former UFC light heavyweight title challenger, faced Cirkunov in December 2017 at UFC on FOX 26 looking to rebound from his knockout loss to Alexander Gustafsson. Meanwhile, Cirkunov was looking to bounce back from a knockout loss of his own, after suffering his first UFC defeat at the hands of Volkan Oezdemir. Teixeira’s experience advantage was evident when he was able to weather an early storm on the feet and take the fight to the mat.
