Second straight knockout loss
LightweightUFC
October 7, 2023
Glenn lost to Drew Dober via TKO (punches) at 2:36 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Glenn had never been knocked out in his first 30 professional fights. He's now been knocked out in back-to-back bouts in the span of just over six months. Glenn was a +310 underdog, second-largest on the entire card, so the fact he lost is far from surprising, but it's impossible to see how he will be able to compete moving forward if this new found lack of durability is here to stay. Sporting just one win in his past five fights (1-3-1) dating back to November 2018, there's a non-zero chance Glenn's roster spot could be in jeopardy.

Glenn will face off against Drew Dober at UFC Vegas 80 on Oct. 7, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Suffers first knockout loss
LightweightUFC
April 23, 2023
Glenn lost to Christos Giagos via KO (punch) at 1:35 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A professional since July 2006, this was the first knockout loss of Glenn's career. It's a shocking result for a fighter who had long established himself as one of the toughest and most durable fighters in the sport today. He got crushed with a left hand from Giagos and appeared to be out before he hit the mat. It's just one loss, but Glenn had been sidelined since October 2021 and just turned 34 years of age, so it's fair to wonder if his durability is starting to wane. It would be understandable considering all the wars he has been in over the years. Glenn has fought just five times since July 2018, posting a 2-2-1 mark over that span.

Glenn will fight Drew Dober in a lightweight bout at UFC's March 12 event, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Glenn recovered from some early miscues to earn a draw when taking on Grant Dawson in October, and he defeated Joaquim Silva via KO (punches) earlier in 2021. Dober is looking for his first victory since 2020 after losing to Islam Makhachev and Brad Riddell in 2021.
