KNOCKOUT! Glover Teixeira vs. Ovince Saint Preux full fight videos preview UFC Fight Night 73 in Nashville

Glover Teixeira gets rocked, comes back to destroy Ryan Bader at UFC Fight Night 28:

Violent!

As you can see from the full fight videos above, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is expecting a slam-bang main event for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 73 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on FOX Sports 1, locked and loaded for the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sat., Aug. 8, 2015.

Saint Preux (18-6) is even money for this weekend's showdown, despite coming off his second straight knockout in as many attempts. After burying Mauricio Rua last November in Brazil, the Strikeforce import followed that up by toe-tagging Patrick Cummins at UFC on FOX 15 back in April.

A finish like that over the Brazilian is a surefire way to get into the light heavyweight title hunt.

That won't be so easy against Teixeira (22-4), who knows a thing or two about big finishes. While G-Tex is coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in his combat sports career, he's still regarded as one of the most dangerous strikers at 205 pounds, evidenced by his 13 knockouts.

Don't blink.
