Review: 2014-04-26, tough fight with some good single shots but it is not enough to get three stars: Jon Jones vs Glover Teixeira gets two. Jon Jones entered this fight with a professional mma record of 19-1-0 (79% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.1 light heavyweight in the world, his only loss was, in reality, a disqualification against Matt Hamill due to multiple “12-6 elbows” (strike brought from a high position toward the floor).

His first appearance at UFC in May was a disaster. Ex-champ Cain Velasquez made his face a bloody mess at UFC 146. And almost a year earlier, his hope to win the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament was wiped out by a big punch delivered by Daniel Cormier in the semifinals.
His memorable victory against the legend Fedor Emelianenko seems to be happened centuries ago.
Now Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (16-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) wants to forget the recent past and comeback to victory.
Friday at Target Center in Minneapolis in the main event of UFC on FX 5, he will face a rising giant, the 6-foot-7 undefeated Travis Browne (13-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC).
