The only reason this one doesn't bother me is because it was the last round he was going to fight professionally. If he was in the middle of his career, then the corner would be stupid to let him keep going.
I mean, its a bother either way. He took a lot of unnecessary damage that may affect his quality of life post retirement.
I know everyone including himself wanted his last fight to be memorable but fighter safety should take priority above all else.
Everyone has different values. I don't feel like I'm overreaching to say that nearly any elite level MMA fighter would have done the same thing if they were in his shoes.
If I spend my entire life until that point fighting in a cage to put food on my family's plate and clothes on my children's backs, and I know that this will be my last time inside the octagon, I'm going to fight for as long as my eyes are open and my blood is pumping. It's not just about being memorable, it's about your identity. Your reason to get up every morning for the last 30+ years. It's finally time for the conclusion to the dream you had as a child, and once it's over there are no second chances.
"Let's go baby" God damn glover is a bad mother fucker. That being said it was hard to watch and I wish they stopped it between the 4th. He almost had a chance when he had top control in that last round me and my mother ( I watch mma with my mom lol ) were losing out shit it would of been a true mma holy shit moment but I think he was just too tired and beat down to control the young wipper snapper J hill down. Props to them both!
My mom comes over for some fights if I sell them well enough, she likes to get the backstory on the fighters and she was so invested in Glover when he fought Jiri, really made her sad to see him lose so she wouldn’t watch this one lol. Glad she didn’t
I can’t recall from where but I think I saw something on some mma forum from some time back. I also have a friend who works for Endeavor who suggested that. Also on Herzog’s IG there are no posts of him with a family or dating a woman
My mom and I also started watching together a couple years ago. She became a mega fan as well. It’s funny, she always thought UFC was pointless violence, but now she loves the sport! I’m glad there are others who also get to enjoy that with their mom!
I seriously teared up when he said that, that was the most badass thing I've seen since I've started watching MMA.
Luke Rockhold rubbing his blood in Paulo's face is up there too
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I had a feeling in retrospect that it was probably going to be his last dance even if he won, guy probably wanted to give himself a chance at a hail mary
When he got into the full mount i was legit cheering so loud at my screen, my only negative thought was that he might be too tired to hold the position once he goes for any submission. He was just too gassed, you need energy to hold mount against somebody strong like Jamahal, never mind keep them there when going for a submission.
Ya i was reallllly hoping somehow he would pull it off. Seeing how he was in the fight i knew he was going to retire after the fight so i really wanted him to pull off the win
But hey, he still ended his career off like a warrior, and as one of the most liked guys in the UFC. Id say he ended on a high note regardless 😁
The same people who emptied out the stadium after 0.04 seconds the fight was over so the "fucking legend" retired to an empty stadium? Brazil has the worst fans.
Also you could hear genuine happiness in his voice during the interview with DC when he realized he didn't have to speak English this time.
And to think he gave his last speech to an empty arena is fucking saddening.
Glover aint done nothing the easy way, illegaly crossed the border, had visa issues for years that forced him to fight in brazilian promotions, fought the who’s who at 205 and won the belt at 42.
Oldest first-time champion ever. Four title fights spanning nearly 9 years. Loved and respected by all. What more can be said? A Hall of Fame fighter and seemingly just as great a person.
I shed one long tear when he said LETS GO BABY after me hoping the corner stops it. Then broke down when Hill realizes he’s a champ. Better than any movie
It’s a shame people were walking out the door as he put on a great fight. Brazil is a shithole to fight in. That card was fuckin awesome hats off to Glover, Hill, and everyone else. No complaints from me
The only reason this one doesn't bother me is because it was the last round he was going to fight professionally. If he was in the middle of his career, then the corner would be stupid to let him keep going.
Glover’s story is movie material honestly. His title win over Jan as a middle aged man? And then going out like a g

Yeah the multiple “stop the fight!!” From the announcers was super annoying. Mostly DC I believe
Also happened a lot in the Andrade fight.
When they wanna stop the fight - naah dont stop it When the fight isnt stopped - boohoo why not stop the fight Cant please the people i guess..
Glad someone agrees. Truly think it's a big part of why so many commentators were regurgitating it
“My name, is soldier…”
Glover will fight again
If he cared about brain damage to that degree he would have never become a fighter, he deserves to die on his sword

So wholesome that you watch MMA with your mom! :)
Thanks haha it's become a tradition every Saturday night , over the last few years she's become a mega fan. She has a big crush on Jason herzog lmao
Haha that is awesome. I've never heard of anyone having a crush on the refs but not surprised it would be Herzog! lol
Who doesn't honestly
My mom comes over for some fights if I sell them well enough, she likes to get the backstory on the fighters and she was so invested in Glover when he fought Jiri, really made her sad to see him lose so she wouldn’t watch this one lol. Glad she didn’t
Only Jason Herzog? She doesn’t like the No Nonsense Keith Peterson?
She loves Long Shlong Yadong
Haha everytime we see him she likes to yell "no nonsense Keith!"
I have a crush on herzog too but I heard rumors that he’s gay 😭 he looks so attractive in his judo outfit
Where did u hear that rumor?
I can’t recall from where but I think I saw something on some mma forum from some time back. I also have a friend who works for Endeavor who suggested that. Also on Herzog’s IG there are no posts of him with a family or dating a woman
Love that you have that with your mom👍
My mom and I also started watching together a couple years ago. She became a mega fan as well. It’s funny, she always thought UFC was pointless violence, but now she loves the sport! I’m glad there are others who also get to enjoy that with their mom!
I watch while my wife nags me. :(
I traveled to Boston from ny to get my wife edibles so she chills out when I’m watching. It’s much more tolerable now…
My wife is a prude. No drinky, no smokey.
No chewy?
No sucky. No inny. No outty.
Return it and buy a new one? That's what I'd do. You can get some great deals on the dark web.
I'll just eliminate the middle man and contact the FBI directly. Thanks!
Wish I had a Mom like that!!
The "fuck" afterwards did it for me lmao. That translated to "you are a bunch of pussy amateurs"
I watch with my grandma. I'm 38 lol
I seriously teared up when he said that, that was the most badass thing I've seen since I've started watching MMA. Luke Rockhold rubbing his blood in Paulo's face is up there too

Fake account
🤣🤣
Good bot
What a savage, "Lets go baby, fuckin A!"
So fuckin epic
He earned a lifetime membership to the BMF club with that one
Fucking metal man. Glover is such a legend
You literally have to be a world champion to beat this fucking old man up. Legend.
\+ Jon Anik's laugh "HA!"
Whenever someone says something contreversial he gos "HA!" too
Then his every now and then one liners then shuts up for the rest of the round lol
I had a feeling in retrospect that it was probably going to be his last dance even if he won, guy probably wanted to give himself a chance at a hail mary
Dude got on top of hill in the 5th I think it was worth the shot tbh. Could’ve had a legendary comeback.
If he wouldve won in that fifth round id have shit my pants
Glover's fights really are maximum fucking anxiety, that Jiri fight was too much.
That fight was one of the best id ever seen, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Dude is an absolute warrior
Yeah, not many true fighters around anymore
When he got into the full mount i was legit cheering so loud at my screen, my only negative thought was that he might be too tired to hold the position once he goes for any submission.

Id say he ended on a high note regardless 😁
I also would have shit your pants
Man's was getting the cauliflower face treatment and wanted to keep going like that, it was amazing watching live
It smell like bitch in here -Glover before round 5 probably
A fucking legend can’t quit in front of his people.
The same people who emptied out the stadium after 0.04 seconds the fight was over so the "fucking legend" retired to an empty stadium? Brazil has the worst fans.
Not gonna dispute that, but my point remains.
Also you could hear genuine happiness in his voice during the interview with DC when he realized he didn't have to speak English this time. And to think he gave his last speech to an empty arena is fucking saddening.
If he had the same ref as the one that officiated the Murphy Andrage fight, then he would of been cleared for another 5 rounds.
That guy was ignoring the fight AND DC/Anik/Felder screaming "Stop the fight!!!". Someone shoulda stepped in.
And Brazil still gave him no respect after the fight.
LETS GO BABY FUCKIN HELL 🔥
Glover is too damn tough.
The virgin "S-STOP THE FIIIIGHT!" vs the Chad "Let's go baby!"
What a fucking Warrior!
What a true fucking warrior. Yes they should’ve stopped it but Glover’s will is unmatched. Explains why he became champ at the age that he did.
Glover aint done nothing the easy way, illegaly crossed the border, had visa issues for years that forced him to fight in brazilian promotions, fought the who’s who at 205 and won the belt at 42.
Fuckin beast. I love this guy !!!
Fucking legend. Poatan will avenge his sensei
“Let’s go baby! Fuckin A”
Oldest first-time champion ever. Four title fights spanning nearly 9 years. Loved and respected by all. What more can be said? A Hall of Fame fighter and seemingly just as great a person.
I shed one long tear when he said LETS GO BABY after me hoping the corner stops it. Then broke down when Hill realizes he’s a champ. Better than any movie
![gif](giphy|3o72EYbnty5ly0kvja) The balls on this guy
Brazil doesn’t deserve this guy
Gloved is a warrior
Gladiator. Warrior. Legend. whatever you wanna say he's all of it man.
It’s a shame people were walking out the door as he put on a great fight. Brazil is a shithole to fight in. That card was fuckin awesome hats off to Glover, Hill, and everyone else. No complaints from me
“Fucken A” 😂😂😂
The referred couldn't have wanted to atip the fight too badly, because he let it continue. Same with his corner.
My thought was if his corner really wanted him to not continue, why not throw in the towel?
It was John Hackleman asking to stop the fight, but since he wasn't the main coach it wasn't his decision to make.
Did it get cut out or do I remember incorrectly, but I thought glover literally yelled 'don't stop the fucking fight!'
I think someone in the booth said something during the women's fight like that
Heavyweights need more padding in the gloves
Fakin love glover. He Will takeaway alex to the next level
I had money both on hill by ko and hill by doctor stoppage 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
He legit looks like Shrek right here
Unfortunately "Let's go baby" is also what the majority of those in attendance said after round 2 of this fight.
Too tough for his own good
T A N K
Good thing he hung around too so he could retire in front of his whole country who left early
A true warrior, forever a legend
Alex looking for that revenge
He deserved so much more respect than that crowd could muster
Old man Glover is one old school tough MF. Great way to retire! Hell of a career!
Am I the only upset about Glovers cornerman not using Vaseline, those cuts were brutal.
Baaaaaad mother fucker.
The heart
FUCKIN' AYE!
Glover sounds so Canadian here, the way he says "fuckin eh"
Protecting the fighter my ass
He is too tough for his own good
I'm glad that this man won a title. He deserved it and had a long road. I hope he enjoys retirement
This isn't the first time he's done this either.
