Glover Teixeira still isn’t entirely sure he won’t need surgery in the injury that knocked him out of UFC Fight Night 137’s headlining bout, but he’s hoping it won’t come to that. Teixeira (27-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) was supposed to have met Jimi Manuwa (17-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) on Sept. 22, at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, but had to withdraw from the card last week. Manuwa now meets replacement Thiago “Marreta” Santos. Teixeira, on his end, is now waiting to see what happens after tests revealed a tear in his left shoulder’s rotator cuff.
