Glover Teixeira, 42, is looking in unbelievable shape heading into UFC 275

Glover Teixeira is in the best shape of his life at the age of 42 as he prepares to head into battle at UFC 275.

Over the course of the last few years, Glover Teixeira has put together an insane late-career run that led him down the path of becoming the oldest first-time champion in UFC history. The veteran has always been one of the best light heavyweights on the planet but now, he holds the gold, capping off what has been one hell of a career in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Alas, while some would happily ride off into the sunset after such a remarkable accomplishment, Teixeira wants to continue proving why he’s the man at 205 pounds.

This Saturday night, he’ll attempt to do just that as he prepares to defend the strap for the first time against Jiri Prochazka.

A challenge like that isn’t going to be easy to overcome but based on this footage, we’d say he’s as ready as he’s ever been.

Teixeria’s coach, Fernely Feliz Sr, spoke about the progress Glover continues to make and how impressed he’s been with him heading into UFC 275.

“The camp was beautiful – good work, plenty of work. Everything is looking great. He’s coming from behind at the age of 42, doing what he’s doing, come on. Looking like he’s looking. It’s insane, you know?

“The old man is getting ready to take this young boy to school, that’s it.”

Teixeira went on to note that he’s enjoying training in the heat of Singapore as he prefers that kind of temperature to training in the cold.

Whereas Prochazka is just 2-0 in the UFC, Glover Teixeira had to really dig deep following his unanimous decision loss to Corey Anderson in summer 2018.

He went on a run that few could believe as he knocked off Karl Roberson, Ion Cuțelaba, Nikita Krylov, Anthony Smith and
