“I’m kind of forgetting about the whole winter thing,” laughed Glenn as he soaked in the sun in Northern California. What he hasn’t forgotten is what it took to get here. Before he got the call to the UFC for a short-notice bout against Evan Dunham last September, he was in that no man’s land many vets find themselves in. He was good enough to be in the big show, but the phone wasn’t ringing.
“Right before I got signed to the UFC last September and got the short-notice call, I was working at Costco in the tire center as a backup supervisor and I wasn’t get much feedback from the UFC on their interest,” he said. “I had just left World Series (of Fighting) in the hopes of getting to the UFC, and in the back of my head, I always knew I’d fight in the UFC, but reality was kind of setting in. In the bigger picture, I needed to make sure I could make a living and provide for my family, so I was really questioning it.”
