Danbury Officials Throw Parade for UFC Champ + Hat City Resident Glover Teixeira
Glover Teixeira is a Danbury resident and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World.

The 42-year-old grabbed the belt on Saturday (10/30/21) during UFC 267 after besting his rival Jan Blachowicz with a rear-naked choke submission move. The victory made him the second oldest person to ever win such a title in the UFC.
One of the first things Teixeira did when he was asked about the win was to thank Danbury saying:
"I want to thank my city Sobralia, (Minas Gerais, Brazil), my family, Danbury, Connecticut, my gym...They're all excited over there. You know I'm coming home with the belt baby! I told you guys, I'm coming home with the belt."
