I stated on my #TheWeeklyScraps podcast, that Teixeira needed to force Krylov to grapple early and he’ll zap the pop from his strikes and then he’ll have a huge advantage on the ground. Great scrambles so far! What a pace! #UFCVancouver

Krylov might steal this fight with this last min of this RD! #UFCVancouver

You gotta love how the commentators are talking Glover up on how great of a fighter he is. But when someone mention that I beat him. Its "Glovers washed up!". Yet he's killing these young cats still....#UFCFightNight #ufc #putsomerespectonmyname

That was the right call, IMO, but I could see why Krylov could have gotten a RD or 2 scored in his favor as well. https://t.co/vuXLLftd0b
