Former UFC light heavyweight champ says he's done with UFC after losing to Jamahal Hill.

The 43-year-old Brazilian lost to Hill in front of his home country fans at Jeunesse Arena at Rio de Janeiro.

Teixeira will still be in his gym training often, coaching a budding crop of fighters that includes current UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira.

“I want to keep the pace high because I have athletes there (at my gym), but it’s kind of relaxing. It’s what I need. 20 years I’ve been doing this and always thinking about the competition mode. It’s very nice during my work outs.”.
