Former Alabama football player Eryk Anders has had to wait a while for the opportunity to bounce back from his first professional loss in mixed martial arts. The waiting ends on Saturday night when Anders squares off against Tim "The South Jersey Strangler" Williams in a middleweight bout.
The fight is the first on the main card of UFC Fight Night 135 at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Fox Sports 1 coverage of the six-fight main card starts at 9 p.m. CDT Saturday.
Anders had a 10-0 pro record before he lost a split decision to Lyoto Machida in the main event of UFC Fight Night 125 in his opponent's hometown of Belem, Brazil, on Feb.
