Underdog at betting houses Jan Blachowicz, Glover Teixeira gained a great ally against the odds.

“I think Glover will win. Everyone is talking about 'Polish strength', but Glover has heart and we've already seen him get caught. I knocked him down, Sledgehammer knocked him down. Everyone who faced him knocked him down. He's good at weathering the storm, and when he comes back, he comes back,” said Anderson, in an interview with 'BJPenn.com'.

Teixeira's power of resistance, who has already proven his ability to withstand various punishments in the UFC, will be a determining factor. Corey then described how he sees the Brazilian surpassing the current UFC light heavyweight (up to 93kg) champion.

“Even if Jan catches him early, I don’t think he’ll be able to knock him out. The only person who knocked him out was Anthony Johnson. With that exception, he always comes back to win and I believe it will happen again”, he concluded.

On October 30, Glover will have his second chance to wear an Ultimate belt. At 41 years old, the Minas Gerais native will fight for the title seven years after his first attempt, when he was defeated by Jon Jones.
