LAS VEGAS – Eryk Anders sees retirement on the horizon despite scoring what he described as the most significant victory of his career against Chris Weidman at UFC 310.
After getting knocked down in the first round, Anders (17-7 MMA, 9-8 UFC) came on strong against former middleweight champion Weidman (16-8 MMA, 12-8 UFC) in the second frame and countered a submission attempt with some big ground and pound for the TKO victory at T-Mobile Arena.
At 37 and with a UFC career that dates back to July 2017, Anders has lasted the better part of a decade on the roster. He admits the end is near, though, and revealed he has a timeline in mind.
