The Brazilian Glover Teixeira was unable to impose his game against Jon Jones at UFC 172 and ended up losing his chance to win the light heavyweight belt. But the athlete from Minas Gerais showed a lot of heart to resist the champion's blows and seek the knockout until the last moment. However, Glover had a problem during the fight, which may have made his actions difficult: he injured his shoulder and a rib at the beginning of the fight.
Still in the octagon, in the post-fight interview, Glover revealed that he felt a lot of pain in his ribs and shoulder during the fight. The fighter was examined by doctors and taken to a hospital in Baltimore City. As a result, the Brazilian did not participate in the event's official press conference.
Still at the press conference, the champion was full of praise for the Brazilian. “I respect Glover a lot, it was an honor to face him that night,” he said Jon Jones.
