Corey Anderson’s had a tough time processing the result of his last outing.
Despite not being a stranger to adversity and defeat in the MMA game, Anderson’s (17-6 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) loss to Vadim Nemkov at Bellator 288 this past November hurt like none other. The light heavyweight contender will get a chance to relieve that pain this Friday on the main card of Bellator 297 in Chicago, as he takes on fellow veteran Phil Davis (24-6 MMA, 11-3 BMMA).
“I expect so much from myself no matter what,” Anderson told MMA Junkie Radio looking back at the defeat against Nemkov. “I don’t like shortcomings. Every time I lose, I take it like a grain of salt and wear it on my face like it didn’t bother me, but every loss, every mistake I make, it eats me up, and that last one was the worst.”
