Glover Teixeira announces plans to retire in 2022 regardless of championship status: “I wanna stop this year”
UFC light-heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira’s days in the sport are numbered. The 42-year-old seems set to retire later this year.
The Brazilian is set to face Jiri Prochazka in the main event of UFC 275 next month. The bout is going to be Teixeira’s first title defense since capturing the light-heavyweight title last year against Jan Blachowicz. The 42-year-old captured the championship via second-round submission last October.
