Who cares about a little thing like patience when you have grenades for fists? Apparently not Glover Teixeira.
The Brazilian bomber made short work of Rashad Evans on Saturday night, knocking Evans out cold with a hellacious combination early in the opening round of UFC on FOX 19's main event. If that wasn't impressive enough, Teixeira then called out Anthony Johnson -- a callout which takes its own special type of lunatic courage.
Check out reaction to Teixeira's win below, plus the best of the rest from UFC on FOX 19.
Can't allow @gloverteixeira to just walk you down. @SugaRashadEvans my brother keep ur head up! Love you bro. #keepgrinding

I really hate seeing Evans lose. Hoping he evaluates where he goes from here with his team. Chins aren't known to come back.
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) April 17, 2016
Glover power in tight is something else. Rashad gave him no reason to NOT come forward. #UFCTampa
