Glover Teixeira dominant in fifth-round TKO of Anthony Smith

Light heavyweight Glover Teixeira defeated Anthony Smith by TKO in the fifth round Wednesday night in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Jacksonville, Florida.

The stoppage came at 1 minute, 4 seconds.

Teixeira took command of the fight in Round 3, when he dropped Smith to the canvas with a huge left hook to the chin one minute in and spent the rest of the round in dominant top position. He landed several hammer fists and opened a cut under Smith's right eye and bloodied his right ear.

Teixeira swarmed Smith to open the fourth and landed a big uppercut that backed Smith to the cage.
