He seems to understand that. It's not shaking his confidence, though. "To tell you the truth, I wasn't happy with this fight," said Teixeira. "It disappointed me that he was able to knock me down. I'm going to do more in camp. I'm going to train more so that I can get there. I'm telling you: This belt is going to be mine. It doesn't matter if it's Jon Jones or if it's Gustafsson. It's mine."
