Glover Teixeira makes me feel better about aging

So basically after he retires from the nfl Brady could probably become ufc champion. After two weeks training of course.
 
Truth is that if you take care of yourself and are lucky with injuries you can age pretty well.

Glover changed a little bit his style to a more grappling oriented and is doing amazing. His grappling actually improved a lot... specially his wrestling (his BJJ was always nasty).
 
44, lucky to have no injuries from a life time of sport, 10 months into training mma have first fight 4 weeks away, opponent is late 20's / early 30's.

also regularly date much younger women lol
 
He is a technique guy. Not particularly athletic and rather slow. That tends to age better. Never going to be champ though.

He's like the 40+ year old guy who make big money and dates the 10/10 20something year old.

If you take care of yourself and keep moving forward with a purpose that can be you too!

No pic? Google thinks Glover is Gustafson apparently.
 
in mma its about injuries, you can go long if you are healthy and "hungry"

all we have is today, cant do fuck about past and dreaming about future is worth of nothing if you do nothing

no matter what happens you can keep your self-respect and your peace with yourself so built those things
some women are sexy and some guys are rich but if thats all they have they will need you at some point, you dont need them

Who is his girlfriend lol?
 
Yoel Romero is older and he still performs fine in MMA.
Surprisingly, it's the ones that have a history of injuries + abusing PEDs to get an edge ahead in competition that ages them faster for some reason.
 
10 years ago there was one fighters called Randy Couture who became a heavyweight champion at 43 years old. So yes there is hope
 
Evil tongues said there was nothing Natural about it.

Nice. I did my 1st MMA fight at 44. Fought a 21 yr old mexican kick boxer kid. Still fit and plan to keep it that way.
 
glover was unrelenting, took some big shots and fought through it, to the win. great job.

He may not be, but he has a path to victory vs both Jan and Izzy. Would absolutely maul both of them if he got them on the ground, and his combination of boxing, good wrestling, and old man strength gives him a shot to get it there.
