He said, “It definitely won’t be any retirement now.”
“Who knows? If this weekend, especially what happened to me, hasn’t taught me anything… I never make plans for the future, I live in the present. I don’t have such plans, ‘I’ll retire at that date.’ The day I retire will be the day I’m training poorly, when I don’t want to go to the gym anymore.” He further added.
Teixeira knows that anything can happen in the world of MMA, and he’s learned not to make predictions about the future. For him, the day he retires will be the day he no longer has the drive and desire to train and compete. Until then, Teixeira is ready to keep fighting and showing the world what he’s made of.
