Glover Teixeira believes Yousri Belgaroui’s growing confidence on the ground could help him overcome Caio Borralho as the Dutch middleweight prepares for his fourth Ultimate Fighting Championship appearance.
Belgaroui will enter the matchup after winning his first three UFC fights by technical knockout. He is scheduled to face Borralho at UFC 334 on Nov. 14, giving him an opportunity to build on that start against an established contender.
Glover Teixeira credits Yousri Belgaroui's extra grappling work ahead of Caio Borralho at UFC 334Teixeira, Belgaroui’s head coach, said his fighter’s willingness to spend extra time wrestling and practicing jiu-jitsu has been central to his development.
“Yousri trains a lot and picks things up very quickly. And he likes training on the ground. Sometimes we finish training, everyone is tired, and he grabs someone doing wrestling or jiu-jitsu and rolls for another 20 minutes,” Teixeira said.
