Glover Teixeira returned to his adopted home of Connecticut and got a hero’s welcome after becoming the new UFC light heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n

In the main event of the card from Abu Dhabi, Teixeira, who turned 42 during fight week, was a sizeable underdog against Jan Blachowicz. Many expected Blachowicz to win the fight, but Teixeira dominated the first round and then got the submission win in the second<\/a> to become the new champion.<\/p>\n

It was a surreal moment for Glover Teixeira to be a UFC<\/a> champion and when he got back to Connecticut he got a hero’s welcome.<\/p>\n
