UFC: Glover Teixeira vs Ryan Bader Full Fight Replay Video
Ryan Bader rushed towards a standing Glover Teixeira after hurting him in their UFC Fight Night main event on Wednesday night, looking to put a finish to their light heavyweight fight.
Seconds later, the match was over. But not in the manner Bader probably anticipated. As Bader flung wild punches, Teixeira drilled Bader with a counter right and immediately followed with a crushing left hook to the chin. Bader crumpled to the mat, then Teixeira followed up with a dozen shots on the ground before referee Herb Dean stopped the fight.
Roger Federer's Early US Open Exit: The End of His Era?
In the wake of Roger Federer’s untimely fourth round exit in the 2013 US Open, a single word resonated above all. TV commentator and former World no.1 John McEnroe kept lobbing the term “mystique” towards the audience, as if it were another fuzzy tennis ball waiting to be served. The term does have a ring to it, as it encapsulated Federer’s unparalleled dominance in the sport since the turn of the millennium.
Tommy Robredo had no business facing Federer. Whether Federer would admit it or not, the 19th seeded Robredo was merely the final roadblock that stood in the way between Federer and a first-ever showdown against Rafael Nadal at Flushing Meadows. Instead, the 31-year-old Spaniard put on a stunning display, not only upsetting Federer, but also doing so in straight sets, 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-4.
