According to Glover
Teixeira, it’s not about who wins and loses, but rather the
friends we made along the way.
In the main attraction of
UFC 313, former two-division champ Alex
Pereira lost a close decision to Magomed
Ankalaev. Not all spectators firmly believed that “Poatan” had
a been defeated, with
nearly half of the media scorers either scoring the bout a draw
or having Pereira getting his hand raised. Count Teixeira among
those, who discussed his pupil with pride and confidence on
Pereira’s
YouTube channel on Wednesday, remarking that Ankalaev should
have been the victor.
The video captured plenty of moments shared by the Teixeira MMA &
Fitness team, ranging from them actually in the Octagon towards the
end of the evening to them boarding a private jet. The beloved
figured Teixeira was eternally upbeat, highlighting the harmony
surrounding his team while emphasizing that everyone was together
and having fun, maintaining the same positive energy.
“It was a spectacular week, as always,” Teixeira lauded. “What
matters is the journey, the guys always together, the harmony,
everyone speaking well of our team. And that’s what we are: united,
and, regardless of victory or defeat, we were there in the room the
same way, enjoying ourselves.”
Regarding the result, however, Teixeira expressed the same opinion
as “Poatan,” and reinforced that the focus now is to keep training
and pursue the rematch to regain the belt.
“My opinion was the same as what Poatan said,” the coach remarked.
“We will watch the fight again, but, for me, he won. And now the
thing is to go back, adjust a few things, train like crazy, get the
rematch and make history. I am very proud of him and proud of
everyone. The vibe hasn’t dropped; we are happy, joyful, and we
will continue with this high energy to turn things around.”
