Glover Teixeira wants his title shot now, doesn’t want Jones/Gustafsson rematch

Glover-Teixeira-treinando-Josh4

I’ve now watched Jones vs. Gustafsson three times, and each time I watch I become more firmly entrenched in the fact that Jon Jones won, big time. I was upset with the 49-46 at first, but not any more. It’s clear that we just got excited at Gus finally beating up the seemingly unbeatable Jones, but that clouded our vision.

Those of you that are saying ‘robbery,’ no, just no. That isn’t even in the same realm as a robbery. I say NO REMATCH!

Glover is with me.

“Even I want to watch that fight again, but it’s hard to say I’m OK with it, because I worked so hard to get this opportunity. I felt like I had my hands right there on the chance, and now they’re going to take it away from me, and who knows for how long? It could be a year from now. It’s really upsetting to me.”

“It was a very close fight, but I scored the first round for Gustafsson and all the other rounds to Jones even though it was close — very close. Jones was getting hit a lot, but also he was pushing forward and trying to get takedowns, as well as catching Gustafsson with kicks and elbows.”

“There’s no way I’m just going to sit around. I’m healthy. I’m good. I had a few minor injuries before the fight with Bader, but nothing major, and we’re getting it taken care of. I could be ready to fight in three or four months, and I don’t want to wait. If they’re going to do this rematch, then I want to get in there and fight someone else.”

“I want that title shot. That’s all I want. I’ll sit back and wait and cross my fingers.”
