Nothing shakes Glover Teixeira. Even defeated by Jiri Prochazka No. UFC 275, a result that resulted in the loss of the light heavyweight belt (up to 93kg.), the 42-year-old Brazilian doesn't care about retirement. In an interview with Daniel Cormier, moments after being submitted by the Czech, the Tupiniquim assured that he will continue competing and drove the Singaporean public crazy.

“Do I look bad for a 42-year-old?” Glover asked Cormier into the microphone.
