Glover Teixeira knocks out Rashad Evans First Round UFC on Fox 19


When Rashad Evans was scheduled to fight Mauricio Rua in the main event of UFC on Fox 19, many saw that as a winnable fight for Rashad. But when Shogun went down, he was replaced by Glover Teixeira - a man many saw as a much tougher challenge. Well, that turned out to be true, because the late replacement knocked out the former UFC light heavyweight champion in under two minutes. Round one begins and Glover is immediately pressing the action. He clinches with Rashad. The fighters break. Teixeira lands a left hand and then a right. Evans misses with a big right. Good kick to the body lands for Glover. Huge left for Glover, he follows up with a right and Evans is out.
