Glover Teixeira appears on his way out of a fight at UFC on FOX 20 next month.
While nothing has been made official by the UFC concerning Teixeira or his scheduled opponent, Anthony Johnson, MMA Fighting is reporting that the Brazilian has now withdrawn from the event.
Johnson was reported to be out due to an injury earlier this month.
“I’m prepared, and I spent a lot of money bringing guys from Brazil to help me,” Teixeira said. “For sure, I’d like to stay on the card.”
The bout was set to possibly determine the next contender to the light heavyweight title on July 23 from Chicago. The card features Holly Holm vs. Valentina Shevchenko.
