Opponents Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira had a wholesome exchange ahead of their title fight at UFC 267 this weekend.

During episode four of the UFC 267 Embedded series, it was revealed that Blachowicz and Teixeira met in a restroom and conversed at the Athlete Hotel on Yas Island moments before the official photoshoot.

The UFC light heavyweight champion told the No.1 contender that he had a gift for him.

"It's crazy. I still got this gift for you, my friend. I need to catch you. I got a gift for you. You will like it. See you later... It's something different."

Glover Teixeira then jokingly asked Jan Blachowicz if the gift was the 205-pound belt because he needed it the most.

"What do you think's gonna happen? Fighting for no money? We'll be on embedded all bloody... Is it the belt. Is that the gift? That's what I like. That's what I need"
