  "account": "In a highly anticipated match at Spaten Fight Night 3, Glover Teixeira, a former UFC light heavyweight champion, delivered a brutal performance against veteran MMA fighter Mauricio \"Shogun\" Rua, winning a unanimous decision. Both fighters, who had previously retired from MMA in January 2023, made their boxing debut during the event held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Teixeira, 46, outclassed Rua, 44, with a flurry of punches in the second round, swelling Rua's left eye and ultimately securing the victory with scores of 79-72, 79-72, and 80-71 in his favor. Despite Rua's pledge that this bout would be his last, Teixeira's impressive performance suggests he may still have a long career ahead in combat sports. The event featured a variety of combat sports, including judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, providing an exciting lineup for fans of all disciplines.",
