Dana Becker - With an impressive win over Ryan Bader next month, Glover Teixeira would place himself in the role as No. 1 contender to the UFC light heavyweight title.

The two meet on Septmeber 4 at UFC Fight Night: Bader Vs. Teixeira from Brazil.

During the post-fight press conference for UFC 163: Aldo Vs. Korean Zombie Saturday night, Marshall Zelaznik, an executive with the promotion, confirmed that UFC president Dana White and matchmaker Joe Silva believe "with a strong victory by Glover, he probably gets the winner of Jon Jones (Alexander Gustafsson)."

Those two meet the same month from Toronto at UFC 165: Jones Vs. Gustafsson. "Bones" mentioned the Brazilian during the recent UFC World Tour as a viable contender and someone he is interested in fighting.

Since entering the UFC, Teixeira (21-2) has won four straight, including a recent win over former champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

Quite honestly I have high hopes that Jones Vs Glover will happen, he definitely is the one at this period in time who has the best formula to beat Jon Jones.

Glover for LHW Champ in 2014!
