Glover Teixeira was sitting cageside at the UFC APEX on Saturday night to watch the light heavyweight championship clash between Jan Blachowicz and Israel Adesanya at UFC 259. His future was at stake, given that a win for “The Last Stylebender” could ruin his plans to be the next challenger for gold.
Blachowicz, an underdog that night in Las Vegas, pulled off the upset by winning via unanimous decision, and Teixeira, who was on standby in case of an issue with either competitor that week, was “thrilled” with the outcome of the championship headliner.
