Glover Teixeira, former UFC light heavyweight champion and coach of current division champion Alex Pereira, has stated his intention to resume his career.
There's nothing [booked], but I'll go back to competition. I keep going after challenges. It's hard to stay [training] without a reason, so I'll definitely do something. I want to compete. I was doing some light sparring with 'Poatan' the other day, and he's like, 'F*ck, Glover, you have to come back!' I'll do some jiu-jitsu.... maybe boxing... or even go back for some fights in the UFC.
