Glover was at UFC 142 to support his friend and training partner Palhares. Aparently he was supposed to debut at this event. He signed with the UFC after the Ricco fight but was injured and couldnt fight at UFC 142.
He told Portal do Vale Tudo that he is ready to fight and should debut in March or April.
For those who dont know him,

He has won his last 15 straight fighting between Hw and Lhw, with wins over Ricco, Eastman, Marico Cruz, Daniel Tabera, Joaquim Ferreira, Soko etc.. in that spree and only one man has made it the distance with him in that time.
He sould debut for the UFC as a Lhw which is really his natural weight class.
Any Ideas for first opponents?
My initial thought was Thiago Silva.
