SUNRISE, Fla. – To hear Dana White tell it, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua really doesn’t want to fight Glover Teixeira.
That news came out earlier this month. But on Friday, White expanded on Rua’s decision to turn down a fight with the new UFC light heavyweight prospect –Â saying the former champion was even willing to be released from the organization rather than take a fight with Teixeira.
“He would rather be cut than fight him,” White said.
