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.
