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.
