Corey Anderson

Corey Anderson is an American professional MMA fighter that hails from Rockton, Illinois. He is a light heavyweight that trains at the Kennel Fight Club. This 30-year-old fighter is coming from a four-game winning streak and he has defeated Patrick Cummins, Glover Texiera, Illir Latifi and the latest was a TKO victory over Johnny Walker. Anderson has been around the UFC since his debut on July 6, 2014, at the UFC TUF 19 Finale where he won over Matt Van Buren via TKO. He came in as an undefeated fighter and since then, he has experienced four defeats in the UFC. Expect Anderson to use his striking as his main key to win this bout and he got the nickname “Overtime” since most of his matches are headed to the judges’ scorecards.

This 36-year-old fighter is a veteran in the lightweight division and he is coming in from back-to-back victories over Luke Rockhold and Ronaldo Souza. He came in the UFC in 2015 and he had a rough start losing four of his five UFC fights. After that, he went on a four-game winning streak before losing back-to-back. Blachowicz seems to have found his way back again and expect him to bring this fight to the ground where Anderson is weak. Blachowicz has the energy to last through five rounds and he has won 10 via judges’ decision.
