Eryk Anders (11-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is slated to return to the Octagon at UFC 231 next month against hometown favorite Elias Theodorou (15-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC), and the fight is a long time coming.
Anders has been calling for a bout with Theodorou since soon after his own UFC debut in July 2017. The two have since had numerous Twitter back-and-forths over the past 15 months, but now the two are finally set to meet.
“I don’t have any personal qualms towards Theodorou or ill-feelings towards Theodorou,” Anders told MMASucka.
