I hope they induct him into the hall of fame. What an amazing career. From a highly touted prospect to being down and out, to becoming champion. Nothing but respect for this man
They don't let bums in

@@phantomcustom4773 dont waste your time with people like that
They definitely will put him in HOF by next year
Glover is the exact opposite of what the Brazilian crowd was. So humble in victory and in defeat too... He's always displayed a tremendous amount of heart and was very passionate about fighting. Thank you for these moments, Glover.
@forwardtothepast8470 - You know, someone can agree with everything that you're saying and still say (or mean to say, even if the writing isn't explicitly nuanced) that there's a pattern of Brazilian fans acting disrespectful and unnecessarily hostile, making them stand out from other countries' fans by a matter of degree and consistency. It wouldn't be hypocritical to make that observation.
@Forward To The Past At least they are not invading other countries as Russia and the USA do.
do you know why the glover lasted so long? he was almost knocked out and the audience never stopped screaming all the time screaming I believe for those who are Portuguese and understood if this fight was somewhere else glover wouldn't do what he did today endure what he endured believe me
@@davidwillian5065 Fuck the audience, that was all Glover.
@@davidwillian5065 don't claim his grit and determination? Why were 80% of the seats empty?
Glover retiring and passing the torch made this one of the most wholesome moments in UFC history I almost cried with my grown self lol
Should have given the title shot for someone else

Man it’s sad to think I’ll never get to see him fight again. He always had me standing in my living room after taking a beating and still finding a way to make something happen in the end.

Proud of Glover! His career was literally one of the best in MMA. He never give up. He came to US as an immigrant, not knowing what to expect, but he had a dream to win in life and that's what he did. Truly champion and will always be. Thanks for putting in the show for us 🥋🥇
He showed us how much of a great punching bag he is
@@yendevus1747 that’s what you choose to see but no matter how many times he got punched or kicked he never gave up and he kept fighting till the last second.
Put 5 guys into the ring that punch Texeira for 5 minutes straight and he still won't get knocked out This guy is insane👍❤️
Wasn’t the best career was trash

It was 3am Rio time by the time glover was giving his speech

@@sub10-zin15they threw shit at Moreno and if Glover won they def would've stayed,the Brazil crowd was just a dump and they left cuz they were salty af(with exceptions to the real fans who stayed)
I honestly teared up when Glover laid down his gloves… what a warrior! Watching him overcome so much adversity over the years has been very inspirational.
Ahahahahahah black Champ in the building 😂😂😂😂
Family guy ain't funny no more hahahahah.
You stupid n
@Got Yoû MàḎ? Nigga please 😆
I shed a tear when he finally won the belt two years ago after such long journey to finally win
Glover gave us two of the best LHW fights ever back to back and was dangerous throughout both fights. Sad to see him go, but at 43 he can't keep having these barn burner wars
This fight sucked
Sucked or not... trust me we should respect the athletes cuz both u and I can never put anything like these guys even at our youth

I don't think anyone in the division can take those crazy power punches by jamahal for 5 rounds except Glover,especially at 43,this guy is the epitome of toughness,respect!

Please, he isnt a sledgehammer by any means. GT just happemed to show his age a lil tonight, couldnt keep the pace and it was bound to happen. But to say or even think this #7 ranked guy will hold the title long is silly.
Glover Texeira, a unique legend of the sport hanging up the gloves and passing the torch to the new generation. Thank you for being an inspiration both as a fighter and a person.
Truly one of the good guys. And deserving Champs. There are stories of him helping American fighters in Brazil.
Glover a unique talent. The grappling, the boxing, the TOUGHNESS. LEGEND
Absolute legend and warrior! Hope to see him in the HOF someday 🇧🇷👑🙏

Beautiful display of grit and determination from Glover. Rest well Champ you're an inspiration to me!
Inspiration to be a punching bag ?
Respect to Glover Teixeria you're one of the toughest to ever enter the octagon. You're a class act. Superb career! You'll be missed, enjoy your well earned retirement. Thank you for all the memories it was a pleasure watching your fights throughout the years.
He's loser
I remember when Glover got knocked out by Rumble back in 2016 and thinking that he would never come back from that. Holy shit was I wrong! He went on to not only go on a win streak, but to become champ. Damn good fighter and damn good coach. Have a great retirement champ. And keep Alex on the best path possible ❤
Rumble Full of Steroids
I cried for his legendary attitude. What a man.. An inspiration to the world
Glover Texeira can still fight for the title at 43 years old🔥🔥 WHAT A FIGHTER!!!! Glover is one of the best fighters that UFC has🏆 LEGEND.
Thanks for all the great fights and congrats on a great career. Went out like a gangster in a brutal fight, respect to a legend!
Went out like a clown. Had no gameplan and got destroyed
Get some help man, there is light out there, no need to try and tear people down Hating on glover in every thread, it’s sad

I was stressed watching Glover going through another war like that in back to back fights, the MMA community is thankful we got too see you champ! true warrior, hope you enjoy your retirement and get that well deserved rest!
Was pulling for him all the way to the end. One of the toughest men to ever walk the planet. Heck of a career. A testiment to toughness, persistence and hard work.
The kid was a real standout. The Brazilian was like Rocky refusing to go down, but the kid went the long haul with superior fighting abilities. Props to the Brazilian for being so tough! Congrats to the kid for showing up powerfully. 🎉
What an ambassador to the sport man! Nothing but respect for the gentle giant ❤️
Mad respect to the legend Glover Teixeira. What a career, what a legacy he leaves behind. He showed the new generation the way, how you can still be at the top of the game well into your 40s if you take care of your body and keep learning. His run at the championship belt will be remembered for so long.
What a LEGEND man. Tough as nails. Sad thing is that when you look at a guy like Glover Teixeira, you'd think that "aww, Brazilians are so nice and humble" and then you see this event's crowd and go a complete 180 on your opinion.
Glover is so classy man, as a real martial artist should be. And great performance at 43 stayed in there not matter what! Hope he enjoys his well deserved retirement. Future Hall of Famer for sure.
The most resilient man to ever grace the octagon!
I unfortunately got into MMA too late to witness most of this mans career but what a fighter and a class act! I loved that he had Hills' and Morenos back and told people to respect these guys and even wanted to walk out together with Hill. Nothing but love to you Champ!
Thank you Glover for such a sick fight tonight and all the shows you put on for us fans. You are a legend a true champion. You’re an inspiration to so many thank you 🙏
Absolute legend became champion at the age of 42 💪🙏
For real though, thanks for the memories Glover! I still remember watching your ufc debut and not knowing how to feel about your future, but you made a believer out of me! I wish you the best in your next chapter of life! A true inspiration and legend!
“Too tough for my own good”, no truer words have been spoken after tonight
I had to rewatch the replay of this interview because my emotions were so high from the fight. But then it got so high that I cried as soon as he laid those gloves down. Thank you Glover Teixeira for the memories. You truly are a legend and I can't wait for you're induction into the Hall Of Fame because that is undeniable after what we saw Saturday and the past few years.
Thank you Glover! 👏 You are a great athlete and a true inspiration. Tough fight. You showed great heart and stayed collected in face of adversity. Pure class by supporting Jamahal and talking to the crowd. Good luck, legend! 💪
Wow, now Glover is retiring. He should be in the Hall of Fame. Thank you Glover for some of the great fights that you have.
Gloved is a true legend. Too bad the Brazilian fans were not present to give him the ovation he deserved for his retirement
why did people leave the event before the actual end? I didn't get that.
He's trash
@@alef3356 Bc they were salty and classless
Respect Mr. Glover! An absolute living legend. Love the man. They are not made any tougher than this man. He is a man and a legend. God bless and good luck, and thank you!
I've only seen this guy fight 3 times but he's already one of my fav fighters EVER. Guy is literally a tank. And the kindest and a class act. A true legend. I wish we could see more of you, but this was the right call. Will be forever a fan of you old man. Good luck with your life.
Glover is a brave warrior. Always going forward and pushing the pace. Brave warrior you inspired so many !! I salute my brother !!! Now you rest and enjoy life, You paid your dues for sure. Thank You for all the memories
Um verdadeiro guerreiro! Que honra te acompanhar, glover. Desfrute de sua aposentadoria ❤️❤️💪🏽
Much respect to an absolute warrior. You will be missed.
Glover is such an inspirational person. The strength and heart he showed through his long fighting career should truly be celebrated. I wish him nothing but peace and happiness in his future
Absolute legend of the sport. Regardless of the outcome you have inspired millions around the world.
Happy retirement Glover , was a great fight he showed all the heart in the world , it was kinda sad seeing him put down the gloves and not having that rematch with Jiri, but this is the true passing of the torch the division finally moved on, thank you Glover for one of the most exciting careers in UFC and for giving me the greatest fight I have ever seen vs Jiri and for being an inspiration for us youth and showing us to never give up no matter how much time passes.
One of the best 40+ year old fighters to ever do it!!

Glover is such a fckn legend bro.. I am so glad he's been part of UFC history... mininal as it may have been he's shown the love and dedication it takes in this sport.. I wish him the best for future endeavours cause he deserves all the success, opportunities and respect that comes his way!
What a guy and what a sport. We can't hide or run from age and its just sad. Great great career Glover. THANK YOU!!!
The best way to prove someone wrong in their assessment of who you are is with actions, not words… tonight that crowd didn’t prove Colby wrong when he said what he said, throwing beer at moreno as he leaves, leaving Glover to announce his retirement to essentially an empty arena after he gave everything in that fight… just classless.
The crowd was probably sad he was getting beat up and they didn't wanna see that anymore, most of them don't know resilient Glover is, and the fact that could've won like he did many times before.
Pay respect to who? This bum glover ?

Glover your a Legend Thank You for the long career bumpy and rough spots you've been through and whatever plans you have after the ufc I best of luck to you. You won the whole MMA communities hearts.
He is great i don't think we will see someone who can be so tough for every top oppenent in his age (43 yo) he is a legend respect!
Fans proved that they dont love their fighters but just love to hate, 90% of people left before Glovers retirement speech.
This guy is definition of a warrior win or loose and a Legend 🙏🏽
Two legends laid it all out for the last time. Much love and thanks for all the moments, Glover and Shogun.
Genuinely seems like the nicest guy ever in the UFC. How can you not like this guy, it's impossible.
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson has enter the chat But in all seriousness he is an extremely nice dude
Thank you for the memories, Glover and we’ll see you in the Hall of Fame.
You never see the sheer levels of respect like you see in the UFC, most of them are wonderful people and I wish more people could be like that.
I remember when he first came to the UFC in 2013. This Man was taking everyone out and was on a streak. Amazing fighter and great human being. Mad respect for you Glover.
This man is a legend 🇧🇷
Спасибо за всё Легенда!
Gutted for coach Teixera .. Teixera fitness here in Connecticut we love you ! 💪🏽great run

Glover is a BEAST. No one else would've survived like that!!
Glover is a bum
Why did you guys cut out the last part when he told the fans to not be a dump?
One of a kind talent. Congratulations champ, future HOF all love to a legend forever ❤❤
He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Sad to see him retire, but it's the right time. Each of his last fights visibly took a lot out of him and he didn't look the same in this fight. What a legend. One of my all time favorites.
There's not many men who could take that level beating and still move forward and be dangerous. Unbelievable career 🙏🙏Respect.
An absolute legend. Much respect to Glover and may he enjoy his well earned retirement!
A BUM
Thanks Glover 🙏 you were a awesome fighter......legend

It's sad that I just got into MMA a few years back and now Glover is retired. The man is a legend and earned my respect. Congrats on the amazing career Champ 🙏
Why not include Glover putting the Brazilian fans in-check? It was a beautiful moment.
Glover, você lutou até o fim como um guerreiro. Você é uma grande inspiração para todos nós. Você com mais de 40 anos conseguiu ser campeão. Você nunca desistiu e mesmo nesta luta você lutou até o fim com um cara muito mais novo e com mais velocidade por ser mais novo. Você é uma lenda
Salute Glover .. You Earned all the Glory , Honor nd Respect!

He literally did nothing
Props to Glover for his incredible heart and toughness, nothing but respect to him for a legendary MMA career, may he truly enjoy retirement
Such a big example of respect between the fighters
Glover never lays down. You can never count that guy out. Absolute warrior.
Tremendous respect from these two fighters.
He never gave up in this fight. What a beast.
So much respect for Glover after that fight. I hate seeing fighters take damage but I would have been so mad if the Dr. stopped this. Was screaming in my room wanting him to go for a darce choke or arm triangle in the last round lol. Never really rated Glover as a great fighter but my god he is probably the toughest guy in MMA. Good way to go out if you ask me. Absolute legend.
