Teixeira defeats Smith in UFC Jacksonville main event. MORE:
Heavyweight veteran Ben Rothwell grabbed an entertaining split-decision victory over Ovince Saint Preux, and Drew Dober stopped fellow lightweight contender Alexander Hernandez with a second-round barrage of punches during the second of three UFC cards over eight days at a fan-free VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
The UFC’s third show in Jacksonville is Saturday night on ESPN Plus, headlined by veteran heavyweights Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris. Teixeira finally ended it 1:04 into the final round, earning his first stoppage by punches since 2017. Smith appeared to be battered beyond repair by the end of the third round, but his corner declined to stop the fight after the third or fourth rounds. His corner didn’t stop the fight even when Smith told them: “My teeth are falling out.”
Dober lived up to Gaethje’s standard with an exciting performance capped by a series of dynamic strikes to force a stoppage of Hernandez .
