The Alabama family truly stretches across all lands and sports.
It was announced on Tuesday that former Alabama linebacker and current UFC fighter Eryk Anders will make his return to the octagon as well as a return to the middleweight division.
Anders who has worked as a light heavyweight over his past two fights will make his return at UFC Fight Night 161 in Tampa, Florida, on Oct. 12 where he’ll be going up against Gerald Meershcaert.
The last fight Anders fought in was a knock out win against Vinicious Moreira at 1:18 during the first round.
