Glover Teixeira harbors a major regret about a specific decision in his MMA career. The former UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg), who currently serves as Alex Poatan 's main coach , still holds grudges over his loss to Jiri Prochazka , not because of the fight itself, but because of a mistake that cost him the victory and the belt.

The topic came up in an interview with 'Overdogs Brasil', with Marcos Parrumpinha, when the coaches were discussing Dan Hooker 's defeat , who attempted a takedown against Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 325 and ended up on the bottom and consequently knocked out. This situation brought back painful memories for Glover Teixeira.

“In my fight against Jiri (Prochazka), I screwed up. I knocked him down, then I saw his neck and pulled for a guillotine choke. The same thing happened (he lost the fight), man, it's horrible, the biggest screw-up of my life. And I can tell you, Dan Hooker is going to cry for a long time,” said Alex Poatan 's main coach in the UFC.
