Instead of rematching with Jiri Prochazka, Glover Teixeira agreed to play a UFC Championship Light Heavyweight with Jamahal Hill. Playing at home and with a large audience cheering, but Teixeira finally could not win. He lost Hill with the point after 5 rounds.
The failure of Glover Teixeira is somewhat predicted. At the age of 43, boxers carrying two US and Brazilian nationality cannot maintain the competition as the peak period. That is why he declared retired right after receiving the result of failure to Hill, who had a completely convincing performance.
“In fact, I think I cannot continue to play anymore. Instead, I will put my effort into training and accompanying Alex Pereira. He will keep the Middleweight Championship for a long time, then go to Light Heavyweight,” Glover Teixeira
Also on the day of the UFC arena, Glover Teixeira said he felt extremely honored to retire at the same time as Shogun. Teixeira's journey in UFC has ended, but his inspiration story remains forever. He used to be a gardener before he was charming with martial arts, and only UFC kept his eyes on his eyes until he was over 30 years old.
From an unknown boxer, then missed the chance to win the championship at the peak, Glover Teixeira has been tasting honey for many years to return to the top group of boxers. In 2021, he became the oldest champion in UFC history when he won against Jan Blachowicz in the framework of the UFC 267 event.
Over a decade of sticking with UFC, Glover Teixeira encountered a series of fierce boxers of the tournament such as Jan Blachowicz, Thiago Santos, Anthony Smith, Jared Cannonier, Rashad Evans, Ryan Bader and Quinton Jackson. Failure to Jamahal Hill could not overshadow part of Teixeira's history to UFC.
