Scouting Report: Glover Teixeira UFC283 via LevPisarsky
Excellent; still very capable at exploding back up with hip escapes.Excellent; his game is simple, but he has thoroughly mastered it, being great at taking the back and locking in a rear-naked choke or finishing with a tight arm-triangle, his other favorite submission.Top Control:
All-time great; unbelievable how heavy he is on top and how thoroughly he suffocates opponents, not giving them any space for countermeasures while keeping them grounded.All-time great; his lack of hand-speed doesn't much matter here, as he clubs opponents with a series of short, accurate punches from left and right at a high rate of fire. As if that weren't enough, he also has terrific elbows and some of the very best, hardest hammerfists in all of MMA.
At this stage of his career, Teixeira's grappling is far more dangerous than his striking. He is still excellent at getting opponents down from either a shot or a clinch. He sets up his takedowns nicely with his own strikes or waits to time his attempt to an opponent’s strike. Once on top, the problems for his opponents begin, since Teixeira has incredible top pressure and control, making sure they stay down.
All-time great; few fighters in MMA history are better at maximizing what's left of their physical gifts or finding ways to win when on paper, they should lose.
