Glover Teixeira had to rethink his plans for the future after addressing his potential retirement back in 2017.

Glover Teixeira had to rethink his plans for the future after addressing his potential retirement back in 2017.

At the time, the former light heavyweight title contender was following a strategy set forth by his good friend and UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell, who said that he would call it a career on the day he woke up and didn’t feel like going to the gym any longer.

At 39 years of age, Teixeira is realistic enough to know he can’t fight forever but he also had to reassess that particular game plan because it’s going to take a lot for him not to feel excited every day he has a chance to train in mixed martial arts.
