Derek Anderson’s disastrous bout against Michael ‘Venom’ Page this past Friday has only become more inglorious with time. The man who once pulled out a shocking upset of Patricky Freire in his 2013 debut with the ViacomCBS promotion (a win he later backed up in a 2015 rematch) has had notable trouble finding his way to the cage in more recent years.
Anderson has fought just six times since 2015, hampered by his own injury issues, as well as those of his opponent, and the coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, following his loss at Bellator 258, it appears the ‘Barbaric’ fighter out of North County MMA and Fitness will be spending some more time on the sidelines.
