It wasn't just Alex Poatan who spoke harshly to Khamzat Chimaev last Wednesday (12). Glover Teixeira also showed his irritation with the Russian after being the target of his 'trash talk'. Irritated by 'Borz's' provocation, the Brazilian made sure to express his dissatisfaction, sending a very unfriendly message.
Recently, Chimaev surprised everyone by stating that he would beat Poatan and Glover together in a fight. Following this, the renowned striker posted a response video on his official Instagram account, and the veteran's stance drew attention. Known for his good humor and friendly, respectful demeanor, Teixeira raised his voice. In addition to downplaying Khamzat's importance in the UFC, the MMA legend threatened him.

“Chimaev? Chimaev has to fight Poatan. First, he needs to get there. We need Jon Jones , we want Jon Jones . Jones is the biggest name. But Chimaev fights Poatan, if he fights that guy, I bet my house. I'm retired, Chimaev, but I'm around. Mess with me in the hotel lobby, wherever you see me. If you mess with me, I'll take your life,” said the MMA legend.
