Shout to his wife without her Glover wouldn’t be here, and she was there for him from the beginning.

[@sr4087]

shes the original WAG

[@jaystef1627]

The love of a good women is a superpower

[@ffolgosi]

A true inspiration. Thank you for representing Brazil so well, Glover.

[@Casteeyo...]

Man, I instantly took notice of him when he first started in the UFC... What a LEGEND!!

[@TrollNova]

No need for a comma before Glover unless you’re asking a question. You aren’t speaking directly to him. Grammarly is cheap

[@Nonamemannn]

@@TrollNovanah you’re wrong.

[@Nonamemannn]

@@TrollNovaor as I should say, “nah, you’re wrong.”

[@dogestranding5047]

Brasil acima de tudo

[@freddie514]

Made me tear up when he won the title, and it made me tear up seeing it again just now. Impossible not to root for, Glover.

[@christopherschwagmeier6020]

Man I share this feeling with you! My wife and I have not missed an UFC event in over 12 years! When Glover won the title I literally cried in shear happiness for Glover and his team! Although this is a great short documentary that gives a glimpse into reality for a fighter from outside the states, we will never know what he and many others actually went through to get where they are today! Keep up the good work making these short documentary’s! They are Gold for us MMA Junkies like myself and others!

Legendary and inspirational fighter. "Never give up on your dreams, no matter what people say dont listen to them. Believe in yourself, keep going forward"..... Glover Teixeira

[@elarrioguajardo208]

A truly amazing fighter, inspiring and great person to showcase what determination and perseverance can do!

[@UFCFightPass]

No doubt!

[@elarrioguajardo208]

@@UFCFightPass oh nice! Mighty kind to receive some acknowledgement!

[@Casteeyo...]

Somewhere in the South America there is someone taking the exact route Glover took....

[@elarrioguajardo208]

@@Casteeyo... doesn't diminish what Glover did and had to go through, nor the people going through challenges like his were.

[@d4s430]

@jabron.destoroyah 16:11 They made dana taller than chuck 😂

[@JamesHughes-ku1dm]

Glover had already passed his prime by the time he made it to the UFC and still is a Hall of famer top 20 all time. I believe he would have had a legendary championship run if he came 4-5 years earlier.

[@jimmyjackass1805]

Nah JBJ was already there. 2 Glovers wasn't going to beat JBJ and whatever he was on. Still super happy he made it to the top even if it was short lived. Glover is an awesome human.

[@mrandyjeezy]

Glover couldve taken the title off of shogun. Shows how amazing JBJ is. Glover grabbed the title once Bones left as a old man.

[@Lijoue]

Goosebumps watching his Brazilian homecoming. Great fighter, no doubt a great man.

[@mokeballs6676]

One of the greatest to ever do it. We love you Glover

[@jacobsteinmeyer9859]

Looking at the timeline, Glover was probably set to debut in the UFC the night Chuck lost the title to Rampage

[@latherrinserepeat999]

What a phenomenal warrior, and persevering champion. His journey to make it to the USA, and then to have to leave, and then having an amazing wife who did all she could to bring him back, and did. One of the best champions ever, Master Texeira.

[@jlore6344]

Glove truly inspires. This show for him was awesome. Thank you UFC for putting this together.

[@UFCFightPass]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@deucey89]

A true legend in and out of the cage, his going to be remembered as just as a solid as coach one day the way Poatan is going

[@zenmorte2793]

You just cant hate on this guy he is the most wholesome dude in the UFC

[@curiosidadesimportantes]

Everytime Glover talks about his life story I cry Bro... I'm proud him as a Brazilian.

[@Ben-xf7uy]

Thank you Glovers uncle and Ingrid, Glovers' wife. Crazy the butterfly effect that it had

[@babycheesus666]

the animations are outstanding 😂

[@objectiveirony]

I'm not one to cry over sports, but I bawled when Glover got the belt. Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I love Glover Teixeira...he's a total stud and a hero. MMA baby, it's the best.

[@bretcheesman-wf4sz]

Glover is the definition of what every man should strive to be! An actual true to life role model!

[@Lugbyz]

When Strickland retires he’s gonna have the wildest fight lore video ever

[@FatherFirst]

Glover is an absolute stud. I appreciated his career from afar and am incredibly happy he got that belt at 42. There's not a more deserving champion. Such a Humble man, but an absolute killer in the cage!!!

[@user-mt3bx5nh6c]

I love how humble Glover is. He's beyond inspiring

[@MorethanGUNZ]

Thank you for doing this story on Glover.

[@li1pete]

Wow this brought tears to my eyes

[@ronlussari]

Tears of joy for this man. Brazilian pride. Parabéns Glover!!!

[@gagewilcox]

I got to meet Glover, briefly, several years ago. Even in that short time, it was obvious that he was a genuine and sincere person. Hes the only fighter that I have been a fan of after meeting them instead of before, and I cried happy tears when he got the gold. Also, when I met him he was THICC. I dont have a huge reach but I could barely get my arm around his shoulders.

[@cdmChase1]

How can you not respect this man.. what a man.. I was so so happy for him when he won the title! You can never take that away from him.. mad respect Glover.. 🙏🏻

[@alexcampack]

True warrior!!! Hero!!!

[@arizvisa]

So glad that Glover was able to become a champion. Been watching him forever. He's always the guy you want to root for.

[@innervision97]

This is so hear warming and beautiful. Glover is such an inspiration.

[@user-tr1jx7mm5x]

this series is the bomb i love it...ive watched three episodes of it..all realy good ..props to all who made this possible for me to watch thank you

[@27neverlose]

Glover comes across as an amazing person, with a never say die mentality. I would love to bump into Glover someday and tell him how much his career and finally winning the belt at 42 meant to me and my boys who watched all his UFC fights. It's such an inspirational story, that seeing this cartoon had me tearing up for Glover again.

[@mikegibson134]

So humble.and a never give up attitude.such a inspiration.crazy

[@Subfightr]

Beautiful. Thank you to those who made this. I only wish the video had the views it deserved.

[@KernalPanics]

He made his American dream through sheer hard work and drive very inspirational I'm glad to have him as a fellow American citizen.

[@pleaseclap5210]

He literally skipped the line around people going through the citizenship process

[@user-mr4gf7xt5u]

Glad to see into glover's life .very great to see what a man glover is

[@bidenonabender5903]

glover basically running nto chuck by accident is such a great turn of luck, back then there was probably not a better person to know if you want to get into MMA, dude got a direct connection to Dana.^^

[@AlexHernandez-gn6rd]

One of my favorite fight stories

[@nicholaskoontz8362]

What an incredible story! ❤ I liked Glover before but now... Wow!

[@shable1436]

And the fact he took in Alex periera under his wing, is just goes to show you how nice he is, sharing his wisdom of fighting and takedowns and defending them, will even cement Glovers name in future especially if Alex keeps winning belts

[@jakemitchell1671]

Wow....his story makes me want to do better things with my life. Truly inspiring.
