It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist — or an MMA expert, for that matter — to figure out Glover Teixeira earned some extra money on Wednesday night. Teixeira (31-7 MMA, 14-5 UFC) put in a brutally efficient performance in his light heavyweight main event victory over fellow former title challenger Anthony Smith in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ 29. Teixeira served notice he’s still among the top names at 205 pounds by dominating the tough Smith before finishing the job at the 1:04 mark of Round 5 via TKO. For that, Teixeira earned a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus, the seventh postfight bonus of his UFC career. Drew Dober also had a fine night in Jacksonville on Wednesday.
