Corey Anderson Eyeing Quick Path to Light Heavyweight Belt After UFC Hamburg Triumph

Corey Anderson earned the biggest win of his career on Sunday, outpointing former light heavyweight title challenger Glover Teixeira in the UFC Fight Night 134 co-main event at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany.

Anderson landed seven takedowns against the 38-year-old Brazilian in a dominant performance after stepping in to replace the injured Ilir Latifi on short notice. After an 0-2 campaign in 2017, “Overtime” has bounced back with triumphs over Teixeira and Patrick Cummins this year. Anderson was a slight underdog against Teixeira, but he was not surprised by the way he was able to handle his more celebrated foe.
