""I will keep the pressure as I always do. I'm going to do what I did to Bader, Te Huna and Rampage. I'm going to do that. I'm going for the finish. It won't be a close fight. I thought Lyoto won his fight against Phil Davis [at UFC 163], but I didn't protest because it was a close bout, either could win. I'm going to prove that I won, and I challenge the judge to rob me. It won't go the distance, but I'd love to see how the judges would give him the win after I clearly win all three rounds, beating his face. They can put his father there as a judge and it won't help... Phil Davis is at the top for a long time, he's a tough guy, so he's another step in the division. I don't think about Davis, [Daniel] Cormier or other top fighters. I want to fight and beat a top opponent, then fight another top opponent, and then fight for the belt again. This time, I will get that f***ing belt."

-Glover Teixeira talks to media in Brazil about his UFC 179 bout with Phil Davis and wanting to get back to another UFC Title bout (via MMAFighting.com).

Penick's Analysis: Davis had a really bad performance against Anthony Johnson in April, and Teixeira echoes many who believe Lyoto Machida should have gotten the decision against Davis as well. The best he's looked in the last few years was a win over Wagner Prado, but that was against Wagner Prado. Teixeira's a very dangerous opponent, and given his wrestling game he's a terrible stylistic matchup for Davis. He can negate a lot of the wrestling game Davis brings, and he hits a hell of a lot harder. If Teixeira's coming in with a mind to tear Davis' head off, don't be surprised if he follows through.
