Glover Teixeira vs Ovince Saint Preux headlines UFC Fight Night 73 in Nashville

Teixeira (22-4) won all of his first five UFC fights, which includes a stoppage over Ryan Bader and a decision over Quinton Jackson, but has found himself winless since September of 2013. Just over a year ago, he challenged Jon Jones for the belt but lost a decision, and most recently found himself being mauled by Phil Davis at UFC 179.

Saint Preux (18-6) has won two in-a-row since dropping a lackluster decision loss to top contender Ryan Bader in Maine last August.  In Brazil, he stopped the MMA legend Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua in the first-round, and most recently picked up a TKO win over Patrick Cummins.

UFC Fight Night 73 takes place live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN on Aug. 8.
