As much as Glover Teixeira may miss competing inside the Octagon, the former light heavyweight champion has no intentions of canceling his retirement.
After two decades and more than 40 fights, Teixeira walked away from MMA following back-to-back losses against Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill. Before that, he made history by becoming the oldest fighter to become a first-time UFC champion at 42.
Today, Teixeira can regularly be seen working alongside and cornering current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, though he can’t help, but sometimes wish that it was him making the walk on fight night.
