For light heavyweight contender Glover Teixeira, watching Israel Adesanya lose a unanimous decision to Jan Blachowicz was a learning experience. Still a few months away from his title fight at UFC 266, the Brazilian knows what he needs to do not do ahead of his encounter with the champion.
In an interview with Ag Fight, Teixeira explained how Adesanya’s downfall during his fight against Jan was giving too much room for Blachowicz to work. Glover plans on not making the same mistake by pressuring the champion at all times, and will look to be the one who takes the fight to the ground, not the other way around.
