Glover Teixeira vs. Ovince Saint Preux: A Head-to-Toe Breakdown

UFC Fight Night 73 comes your way this weekend, and headlining the card will be two top-10 ranked light heavyweights.

No. 4-ranked contender Glover Teixeira meets the rising No. 6-ranked Ovince Saint Preux in the evening's five-round contest. Nashville will play host to the event, and expect a large ovation for Saint Preux in front of a local crowd.

Teixeira has dropped his last two fights but remains in the top five of the shallow division. He lost his title bid to Jon Jones and followed that up with another decision loss to Phil Davis. On the opposing side of the cage, Saint Preux is coming off back-to-back wins against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Patrick Cummins.

Can Teixeira get back in the win column and steal Saint Preux's momentum as they both try to inch closer to the title? Or will Saint Preux establish himself as a true contender at 205 pounds?

Let's break down the matchup for this weekend's fight card from head-to-toe.
