After coming up short against Jamahal Hill in their light heavyweight title fight at UFC 283, 43-year-old Glover Teixeira decided that enough was enough and retired from the sport.

“I think I am too tough for my own good, for my own health — I cannot keep up anymore,” Teixeira said in the octagon interview before putting down his gloves.

In the last years of his career, the Brazilian veteran grew incredibly popular amongst MMA fans, and in 2021, at 41 years of age, he became the UFC light heavyweight champion after submitting Jan Blachowicz.
