This fight will be a brawl. Glovers most competitive fight to date imo.

Main two: Lyoto Machida and Alexander Gustafsson.
I think Lyoto would make him look stupid personally. And I think Gustafsson would completely outwork him on the feet.
I think Phil Davis would give him hell a well. I think he would control him on the ground with ease.
I think Lil Nog would hold his own in a fight, beat him? Not sure, but I do think he would hold his own.

@MikeLovesTacos XD Machida wouldn't fight him, they're training partners.
Gus is a decent fighter, but has a ton to improve still. His stand up against Shogun wasn't as good as people made it seem or expected it to be.
Phil hardly could tag Vinny standing, he won't be able to hit Glover and I'm not sure he'll have the advantage against Glover on the ground to control him.
I love Glover so I maybe biased, but I seriously don't see anyone in the UFC light heavyweight division being able to beat him yet.
This may seem weird, but I think Glover vs. Vera would be good even though it would be bad matchmaking.

I think Glover is the more complete fighter but he can get tagged from time to time, and Te-Huna doesn't tag you, get KTOF's you ... so it could go either way.
I'm gonna go with Glover by decision in a FOTY candidate.

Glover want to take this fight to the ground where he has his biggest advantage vs. te huna. glover has the better chin out of the 2 and that could prove to be the x-factor in this fight.
Te Huna will want to keep this fight standing and utilize his slightly superior striking advantage to claim his victory. te huna will want to use his speed advantage to get in and out while avoiding being hit.
