Glover Teixeira is the second-oldest champion in UFC history, behind only the legendary Randy Couture.
To give a better perspective on the significance of that, the Pittsburgh Pirates won the 1979 World Series 11 days before Teixeira was born on Oct. 28, 1979. The Pirates have basically becoming laughingstocks in MLB and have lost more than 100 games in each of the last two years.
Teixeira, though, will only be a year and two months behind Couture if he defeats Hill. It’s a remarkable feat and leaves open the possibility that Teixeira could surpass Couture’s once-seemingly invincible record.“I just have fun, man,” Teixeira said. “I’m just having fun. I just enjoy my life. I don’t know. People ask me that same question a lot and I don’t know how to answer. I have a love for the sport. I appreciate my life. I have help that allows me to go do what I love to do.
Teixeira has proven, though, that he can take it. At UFC 275 against Jiri Prochazka, Teixeira seemed to be in trouble numerous times. Prochazka is a terrifying finisher and entered that bout on June 11 in Singapore with a 27-3 and 25 knockouts. He throws strikes — hard ones — from every angle with each of the limbs on his body.
