Brazilian light heavyweight Glover Teixeira has been a professional mixed martial artist since debuting almost 11 years ago, in June 2002. Amassing a 21-2 record over that time period, Teixeira only recently made his UFC debut in 2012 at UFC 146, submitting Kyle Kingsbury, but he already has a title shot within his sights. Over that 10-year period, Teixeira became an enigma of sorts. Fighting sporadically over the early years of his career, the Brazilian brawler earned a devilish reputation for his work inside the cage. Trained out of the legendary Pit Fight Team in Arroyo Grande, Calif., under famed trainer John Hackleman, Teixera has long been a fighter to watch for many of the diehard MMA fans all across the globe. Currently riding a four-fight winning streak in the Octagon, with one win being an impressive dismantling of former division champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson , Teixeira is set to square off with Ultimate Fighter winner Ryan Bader at UFC Fight Night 28 on Sept.
