Best Way BJJ's Black Belt Glover Teixeira made us proud one more time. Teixeira fought in the ADCC Brazil trials and he is now qualified to fight in the main event in New York.

Abu Dhabi is the most prestigious grappling tournament in the world and a first place is the best credential someone could have.

Teixeira said in many interviews that his focus has been always the MMA and proof of that are the remarkable knock outs over Tierry Soukoudjo in the WEC and Jorge Oliveira in the PFC events.

Way to go Glover, always making your hometown team happy!!!
