UFC Nashville main event result recap: Teixeira puts Saint Preux to sleep

Bloody Elbow recaps the big fights from UFC Nashville. Here, we look at the main event between Glover Teixeira and Ovince Saint Preux.

On Saturday night, Glover Teixeira pulled off his third submission victory inside the Octagon to put a halt to a two fight skid. While Teixeira would leave Nashville victorious, it wasn't all plain sailing for the Brazilian. In the opening stanza, Tennessee resident Ovince Saint Preux hurt Glover badly with a body kick and a pair of power punches. Ultimately, Teixeira's technical game became too much for OSP, who relied too heavily on his physical attributes.
