LAS VEGAS—When Glover Teixeira attended this past weekend's UFC 282 event at T-Mobile Arena, he did so expecting to find himself in a future title fight. He did not expect it to be against Jamahal Hill.
Teixeira was at the event to scout out Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev, who were competing for the light heavyweight title that was vacated by former champ Jiri Prochazka when he was forced to the sidelines with a severe shoulder injury.
"I wanted to watch the fight and to watch what's the next guy that I was going to fight," Teixeira told MMA Underground.
