How does someone who trains at the pit have visa problems?

he came over from brazil on a short term working visa, then decided to stay. however his visa only aloud him to fight in california, so getting a 3 fight contract with the ufc was never an option. instead he has had a fight in the WEC and then Palace fighting championship.
There were rumors that he was going to be on this season of TUF. (Before the names were officially announced) I guess he gets to skip that whole process. Good for him. And yes, he was the one who knocked Soko out.
yeah he had that 8 second KO (or however many seconds) over that dude on tapout. that was a hell of punch, dont even think i could hit like that with an aluminum bat
It’s not Cane’s striking that’s going to lead him to victory. That being said, I think i read somewhere that Arona and lil’ nog have decent ground skills…
Yes he fights at LHW. I trained under Glover at the Pit. His ground game is SICK. He is a true BJJ black belt with unbelievable poise and power. He WILL be a force in the UFC. WAR Glover.
I must be confused cause I remember Liddell had a buddy on tapout show who fought on WEC card who was his “house bitch” or something but he was only 145 pounds.
Liddell must have lots of buddies that are fighters.
this guy Glover is a badass…he throws bombs and trains with Liddell at the Pit. Cant wait for him to fight in the UFC LHW division. I wonder if he will stay LHW or move down to MW…I cant remember if he was exceptionally large LHW, but I dont think he was.
Glover ‘Iron’ Teixeira went to Minotauro Team Academy and trained Boxing and Muay Thai with Junior dos Santos(Werdum’s opponent in UFC 90) and Lil’ Nog.

isnt this chuck Liddell’s boy who knocked out Sokoudjou?
I think so. He was on tapout, right?
Yes and Yes.

yup..thats Chucks boy…and he is pretty damn good!!!!

I saw this guy on the Tapout show really impressed.
If Soko loses to Cane (which I think he will) then they should have a rematch between Sokoudjou and Teixeira.
Absolutely i agree! Luiz Cane has impressed me with his striking so i think he will beat Soko
It’s not Cane’s striking that’s going to lead him to victory. That being said, I think i read somewhere that Arona and lil’ nog have decent ground skills…
Is this cat a light heavy weight?
Yes he fights at LHW. I trained under Glover at the Pit. His ground game is SICK. He is a true BJJ black belt with unbelievable poise and power. He WILL be a force in the UFC. WAR Glover.
Hell yeah!!!!
