At 42-years-old, Glover Teixeira knows his time in the Octagon is limited, but the Brazilian doesn’t want to retire just yet.
The reigning UFC light heavyweight champion walked back previous comments about wanting to retire after getting two title defenses under his belt where he revealed his “perfect plan” of retiring after defeating Jiri Prochazka and Jan Blachowicz in back-to-back fights.
Although Teixeira admits that that is still his go-to plan, the UFC veteran says retirement is the last thing on his mind right now.
“Listen, I didn’t say that for sure,” Teixeira said during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour (h/t MMA Fighting).
