Why did Glover texeira have so much success later on?

I was looking at Glover’s record and i thought to myself what changed that made Glover go from just a top 5 fighter to a championship calibre fighter? Was it a decrease in the quality of competition? Cuz he got absolutely dominated by Jon Jones is all aspects of the game. Then, he got wrestlefucked by David he got sent to the shadow realm by Rumble Johnson within a blink of an eye , he then got outboxed and chinned by Alexander Gustafsson and then got wrestled by Anderson. Now I noticed, he faced less wrestlers which might be in part why he had success later but also Gus/Rumble and Jones are some of the best 205ers ever in my opinion and Davis was pretty good as well. Or was it an important/change in his game ? But still, how can Glover get chinned badly twice and take damage in other fights to then take the kitchen sink from Hill and Jiri without going down ? submitted by /u/MA-JA-HO [link] [comments]
