Glover Teixeira still got fight: Legend refuses to hang up the gloves!

Glover Teixeira has no plans to retire from the UFC anytime soon. When asked about the possibility of hanging up his gloves, the seasoned veteran simply stated that he never makes plans for the future. Instead, he prefers to live in the present and let the future take care of itself.

He said, “It definitely won’t be any retirement now.

“Who knows? If this weekend, especially what happened to me, hasn’t taught me anything… I never make plans for the future, I live in the present. I don’t have such plans, ‘I’ll retire at that date.’ The day I retire will be the day I’m training poorly, when I don’t want to go to the gym anymore.” He further added.
