Watch Eryk Anders knock out opponent in UFC middleweight bout

Eryk Anders got off to a slow start in a middleweight bout against Tim Williams at UFC Fight Night 135 on Saturday night in Lincoln, Nebraska. But he made up for it with a dynamite finish.

The former Alabama linebacker rebounded from his only loss by knocking out Williams with 18 seconds left in the three-round fight at the Pinnacle Arena.

After shoving an off-balance Williams to the canvas, Anders clocked his opponent in the face with a left leg kick as he was getting off the mat, and Williams went down at 4:42 of the third round as the referee ran in to protect the fallen fighter.
