“It would be my farewell to the fight. At the moment I’m thinking that. I’ll be 43 in November, regardless if I’m up there, being the best in the world or not, I want to stop this year. It will probably be my last year. No I want to make that decision after a fight, but that’s what I’ve been thinking for a while,” continued.
I don’t want to retire like (Henry) Cejudo, who always wants a fight. When I retire I want to be calm. I believe it would be a perfect plan. The perfect plan would be for me to retire with the belt this year, but for that we have a lot to do, we have to see if it can be in New York, and I still have to beat a really tough guy. That’s my vision,” said the fighter.
Glover also told how it feels to be the winner of a title in the biggest MMA event in the world, and said that this fact has not changed anything in his life after having achieved the dreamed goal. He also points out that it is something so great that all fighters in the world should experience.
“I wish all fighters had that feeling one day in their lives. It’s the best feeling in the world because you can do it, it’s a dream, a goal you set, and you can do it. I haven’t changed my lifestyle, I live by the same thing. way, with the same people. I haven’t changed anything (with the belt). I’m happy like this, why am I going to change?”finished.
