About a month before facing Jiri Prochazka in a rematch for the light heavyweight belt (up to 93kg) in UFC 282, Glover Teixeira saw the pupil up close Alex Poatán make history by knocking out Israel adesanya in the main fight of UFC 281 and becoming middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg) in his fourth UFC fight.
A video published on UFC social media shows up close the former light heavyweight champion's emotional reaction upon witnessing his pupil's heroic victory at last Saturday's event (12).
