They asked me if I’d be ready. We’ll probably hear soon who I’m going to fight, and I’m sure it will be great.” The 33-year-old Teixeira is one of the UFC’s brightest prospects at 205 pounds, boasting an incredible 19-fight win streak that includes UFC victories over James Te Huna , Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Fabio Maldonado and Kyle Kingsbury . Teixeira currently sits at No. 7 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com light heavyweight rankings , but he lacks a signature win to bring him to the very top of division’s ladder. But Teixeira doesn’t blame the UFC for potentially slow-playing his rise to the top.
