Eryk Anders talks grueling UFC Sao Paulo main event: ‘I’ve never been so exhausted in my life’

When Eryk Anders collapsed in the cage at the conclusion of his UFC Sao Paulo main event scrap with Thiago Santos this past Saturday, it made for a dramatic sight.

Fortunately for Anders, the visual was a lot worse than the actual consequences and Anders was able to return to the backstage area with only minimal assistance from his team, which included his wife Yasmin who was cornering him for the first time. Anders spoke to MMA Fighting on Monday to give an update on his health following the third-round TKO loss.
