Teixeira is not thinking about resuming his career: “I’m putting all my energy into Pereira”

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Glover Teixeira explained why he doesn’t even think about returning to mixed martial arts.

“I’m not thinking about returning. I won a belt in my career, so now I can be grateful for everything I've achieved and everything I am

I left because of the losses to Prochazka and Hill. I don’t want to belittle their merits, but my age factor definitely had an impact. I became weaker and slower. Even at the age of 35 I would have smeared them. But my time has passed, I need to move on. When I saw that Alex Pereira had achieved more than me, I decided to bet on his career. I put maximum energy into him,” Teixeira was quoted as saying by MMA Fighting.
