Bellator light-heavyweight contender Corey Anderson is making one last push for gold after telling his mother he has yet to accomplish his final goal in MMA.
The former UFC standout has twice faced Bellator champion Vadim Nemkov; the first ending in a no contest after a clash of heads while the second went against him on the scorecards. He came within touching distance of a title shot in his former promotion, but was stopped by eventual champion Jan Blachowicz in a rematch before joining his new company.
And he has confirmed that had he defeated Nemkov at the end of last year, he likely would have hung up the gloves, insisting that he must achieve every goal he has pushed for. He is still the No.1 contender at 205lb in Bellator, and faces No.2 Phil Davis on Friday night in Chicago with another shot at gold potentially on the line.
