Eryk Anders faces another unbeaten in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 123

Undefeated LFA champ Eryk Anders is set to fight another undefeated, and also former LFA champion this Saturday at UFC 123 in Fresno.

From a 34-year-old veteran on his way out in Natal, Anders is now set to welcome a 27-year-old on his way in when he faces Markus Perez (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Originally scheduled to meet vet John Phillips (21-6 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., Anders (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) got a fellow undefeated former LFA champ, instead.

It took some re-routing, but Anders isn’t mad about the switch.
