Glover Teixeira: Cool photos and stuff

[NotSoSure]

a lot of Brazilians have inspiring lives. they came from poor upbringing but you never hear them complain about fighter's pay.

It's not exactly like that. For famous fighters, Jose Aldo, Glover and maybe JDS fall in that category of "humble background": Aldo has the more "tragic and typical" brazilian background that you'll find in the soccer fields actually. MMA is a "middle class kid" thing in Brazil, so most of the fighters aren't so deprived: Belfort, AS, etc come from ok families.

I like Glover's personality and he seems like a genuine person. Unfortunately he will lose tomorrow night to Jones.

War Glover! Most humble and hardest working fighter in UFC. So glad he became champion.

I wish I could give this thread a like 8 years later

I'm glad someone bumped this thread.

It was the first thing I thought of after Glove won the belt, but I also thought it to be impossible to find it.


I recommend everyone who has time, to read it. Very good stuff.


Congratulations, Glover Teixeira!

He even did the splits like that stud Jean-Claude. What a hero Jean Claude Van Damme is, the national treasure of Belgium. We have Jean Claude to thank for giving us Texeira, on record he'd probably be a milker like his dad if it werent for JCVD. Give it up for Jean Claude everybody!!

Great to see when people finally accomplish their dreams

There are too great feel good stories in MMA, this is one of them.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy

So happy for Glover, he’s a real one, always goes for the finish and a genuinely good dude.

Damn, I’m like where the hell is the like
button. Then I realize it’s an old ass thread.
Thank you for this cool stuff, though.

Absolutely relentless, lots of us could learn something from Glover.

Glover's wife is definitely a keeper.

Great story. I saw a really cool Glover mini documentary this week, I'll come back and post the link if I can find it.

Jones had more struggles...

- He had to snitch on kids
- He's a devout catholic....if you doubt that, ax his baby momma
- His brothers make less millions than he does
- was occasionally forced to rake the leaves on his sprawling upstate NY property
- trees get in the way of his Bentley's
- could not get more than women to ride in said Bentley when he was galavanting around town without his baby momma
- his toes sound like a bowl of rice krispies

He had to travel all the way to California that time the UFC moved their entire event across state lines.

Probably has a really hard time finding long sleeve shirts that fit him.
