Glover Teixeira vs Jon Jones — Fight recap

Jon Jones retained his light heavyweight title via unanimous decision over Glover Teixeira on April 26, 2014, controlling all five rounds under referee Dan Miragliotta. Jones landed 138 significant strikes at 58% accuracy compared to Teixeira's 53 at 27%, while securing three takedowns and accumulating 5:51 of control time.

Teixeira managed zero takedowns on five attempts and failed to land any meaningful grappling exchanges, remaining largely reactive throughout. Jones dictated distance with his striking, particularly effective with leg kicks (25 of 29) and body shots (25 of 28), while Teixeira's wrestling-heavy approach yielded no results against the superior footwork and cage awareness.

The unanimous decision reinforced Jones's dominance at 205 pounds and left Teixeira searching for a path forward in a crowded title picture.
