Evans circles on the outside. Teixeira happy to stalk and move forward. They clinch briefly, but they reset into a similar pattern. They trade punches, and Teixeira scores, but Evans shakes it off. Teixeira walking forward and looking dangerous. He scores with a left hand, and Evans is rocked. Right follows, and it’s lights out for Evans. Big knockout for Teixeira.

About Rashad Evans

When and why did you start training for fighting? I started to train in 2003 after I graduated from college. I love fighting so much and I figured why take the chance of fighting in the streets when I can get paid to fight in the Octagon. Even though the street fights are a lot of fun, I put it behind me and started to train with a true purpose.

Do you have any heroes? My mother is my hero because she is such a strong person. I have never even seen her cry.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? The UFC is the top, and a great organization. I have been a big fan since my adolescent years when I use to take karate. I can remember like it was yesterday my best friend and I watching one of the events. We said one day we will be fighting in the UFC. So what is like to fight in the UFC? It’s a dream come true.
