No. 2-ranked Brazilian light heavyweight Glover Teixeira defeated James Te Huna at UFC 160 in the first round via guillotine choke, but it was meeting his hero, Mike Tyson, that was the highlight of his night. As Teixeira heads into the Octagon in Belo Horizonte at UFC Fight Night on Wednesday against TUF winner Ryan Bader, he'll be performing his typical prefight ritual: watching Iron Mike highlights to get motivated.

Live coverage of UFC Fight Night: Teixeira vs. Bader begins at 4/1p ET/PT on FOX Sports 1.

"Being: Mike Tyson" premieres on September 22 on FOX, with new episodes every Tuesday on FOX Sports 1 beginning on September 24.
