Glover Teixeira Set For First Title Defense
3 years agoThe 42-year-old Brazilian legend Glover Teixeira (33-7) is set to defend his UFC light-heavyweight title for the first time in the main event at UFC 275 on Saturday against a very dangerous striker in Jiri Prochazka. Teixeira would no doubt prefer this matchup to stay on the ground, as 11 of his career wins have come by submission. He also has 17 knockout/TKO wins as well. Something can always be said for cage IQ, and Teixeira has been able to utilize that in his last handful of bouts against younger, stronger competition. DraftKings has him as a big underdog with a salary of $7,300. Throughout his UFC career, Teixeira averages 87.7 fantasy points per contest.
