“I heard his post-match interview asking for a title fight and I can’t say he’s wrong,” UFC President Dana White said at a press conference after the Las Vegas event. “He is on a winning streak and looked great today. It’s funny, but every time I’m ready to write this guy off, he proves that I’m wrong. He looked incredible today. “

“I heard him, I agree with his arguments, and we will have a serious conversation. We have to resolve this issue, but I can say for sure – I will never doubt this guy again “

That being said, reigning UFC light heavyweight champion, Jan Blachowicz, also agrees that the 41-year-old Brazilian deserves a title shot.

“Great fight and incredible run, Glover. You certainly deserve a title fight and the opportunity to experience the legendary Polish might. If Adesanya can’t wait until March, let’s do it! ”- wrote the Polish fighter on Twitter.

Recall that during the match Santos was twice close to an early victory after accurate hits in the standing position, however, Teixeira not only returned to the battle both times, but also finished the opponent with a rear naked choke in the third round.

“I have won five wins in a row and it was not easy. Give me the title chance – I deserve it! ”Teixeira said in a post-match interview.

Note that in April 2014, Glover Teixeira made an unsuccessful attempt to take away the title from John Jones, losing at that time to the reigning UFC champion by unanimous decision after five rounds.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]
