Glover's last words as a fighter: asks fans not to throw things at 'Champion Jamahal Hill'

[Cooliox]

Congratulations on a great career, Glover Teixeira

Classy man and fighter throughout his career- couldn't think of a better ending to this man's career - Championship fight at home in Brazil, asking fans to show respect to the man that put a beating on him for 25 minutes.

WAR GLOVER!

He lost me money but I enjoyed the legendary performance. I loved this card if I'm being honest

 

[NoSmilez]

Glover is a classy American.....

 

[rac2]

Glover is that classy, but many people will show up in this thread to shit on foreigners.

 

[CodyMckenziesPrime]

I guess he wasn’t able to se that there was nobody even left in the arena to throw anything

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Glover just can't help himself, quality human to the core. But seriously, who was even around to throw anything at that point?

 

[Marko Polo]

I almost shed a tear at Glover retiring while also making sure not to take the spotlight away from Jamahal’s win. One of a kind bloke and dare I say it he’s a better fighter than his mentor Chuck ever was.

 

[Reign009]

He's not just a great fighter, Glover is a great human being.

I also appreciated the hell out of his pointing out that it's an honor to retire on the same night as Shogun. Respect. Two legends and former champs calling it a career same time.

But yeah his comments there were pure class. Always comes across as an ultra nice guy.

Props to Hill. Great story and awesome win in an entertaining fight.

I think he's the toughest fighter I've ever seen (and I've seen about the whole UFC now that I think of it, fuck). Epic way to go out. Hope he enjoys retirement.

 

[Area809]

A lot of fighters would’ve looked for a way out. It was sad to see all the punishment but him always moving forward and even getting the mount in the 5th was truly inspiring.

 

[Fergelmince]

Stay classy brazil

 

[Reffson]

Glover fought like a champion. I love the guy but it is time for him to retire. You get to an age when no matter how hard you work, you can't beat the young lions. Glover had Hill in full mount early in the round late in the fight. A few years back, he just chokes Hill out, but tonight he didn't have the energy. His warrior spirit wouldn't let him quit though, and for that, he goes out a champion.

Great dude. Good fighter, champ, everyone respects him if not likes him. Hell of a career.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Definitely all heart. Also really makes you appreciate the power Rumble had

RIP. Was thinking about that all night watching, as most were.

They kept talking about Hill's power.. boy, Rumble was in a different stratosphere.

What a class act Glover is. The amount of heart and fight in him is epic. Congrats on a legendary career.

If Lauren Murphy and Glover had a child, imagine what it would take to make said offspring give up in a fight. Just joking but not really.

 

[HHJ]

Even if he is retired,he will always be a fighter to me,and with him in POATAN's corner,we will not see the last of the man. I feel good about that.

True. Glover is still going to be giving to the game. definitely a reason to feel good
