Anthony Johnson vs Glover Teixeira: When the irresistible force meets the immovable object



UFC 202 is just a week away and all eyes are trained on what is set to be the most commercially successful card of the year, headlined by the much-awaited and talked about the rematch between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor. But the UFC isn't one to get complacent with just a cracker of a main-event alone, instead stacking the card up with some exciting fights right from the prelims all the way up to the main card.

But among the monster fights, the one fight that has people salivating for, more than the others, is the co-main bout pitting Light Heavyweight Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson against former title challenger Glover Teixeira.

Not saying that the fight has flown under the radar or anything, but given that both Rumble and Glover are soft-spoken fighters not known for their 'trash talking' skills, it may lack the promotional appeal that the main event carries in spades. But, just the matchup alone is enough to create a buzz and the fact that the winner will most likely get a chance to challenge divisional champion Daniel Cormier adds to the fight.

Below we take a closer look and analyze the key points for this matchup and how each man can look for a win in this crucial Light Heavyweight fight.
