Glover Teixeira finally seems to be heading to the UFC. The light heavyweight prospect has not lost since his 2005 bout with Ed Herman. MMAJunkie reports the Brazilian fighter will make his debut in early summer. Teixeira is probably best-known for his appearance on the second season of TapouT where he appeared in an episode featuring fighters from The Pit. Teixeira was expected to make his UFC debut years ago but visa issues kept him out of the US for several years. The issues led him from moving from The Pit to Blackhouse’s Brazil location. After resolving his visa issues this past December, Teixeira is looking to continue his winning ways in the UFC with the help of his old and new teams. The Brazilian fighter combines powerful boxing with black belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has only seen a decision three times in nineteen fights. Pictured: Glover Teixeira via Blackhouse.com

Ricco Rodriguez gets taken out by Glover Teixeira. This finish is extra sweet because it was also for a good cause or something: Promoted by the Department of Health and the State Government of Rio de Janeiro, the event MMA Contra a Dengue (MMA Against Dengue) brought the proposal of educate the public to the dangers of contracting the disease, but also helped to spread even more MMA in Brazil. Teixeira is currently stuck in Brazil over 'visa issues', which is a pretty unfortunate situation for people who wanna see him in the UFC and the Brazilian fighters who have to face him in the meantime. He's now 5-0 this year and 18-2 overall. Let's hope he can manage to get himself international sooner or later. If it's a paperwork issue, it's just a matter of time. If he's suspected of murdering a hooker in Sao Paolo ... it might take a bit longer.
