Since making the switch from American Football to MMA, Eryk Anders has amassed a pro record of 14-7, currently competing in the UFC’s middleweight division.
Since beginning his MMA career, Anders has jumped from strength to strength having faced off against a number of high-level opponents including the likes of Darren Stewart, Lyoto Machida, Thiago Santos, and Brendan Allen.
Eryk Anders‘ last bout was a controversial split decision loss against Jun Yong Park back in May of this year. However, Anders has also been making moves outside the UFC octagon.
In a recent exclusive interview with LowKickMMA, Eryk Anders spoke about his acting debut on the Netflix hit show “Cobra Kai” stating:
“The South here is starting to be a big hotbed for movie production because the taxes and tax incentives are way better here than they are in California. So they’re coming to Atlanta, they’re coming to Birmingham and they filmed a movie called Embattled with Stephen Dorff… He was the bad guy in the first Blade movie… The stunt coordinators came to the gym for that movie, because it was an MMA movie, and did some stuff there so we got to know the guys.
“Then Cobra Kai moved their production to Atlanta and that same stunt crew got on with Cobra Kai and they were like; ‘hey, we need this big Mexican-looking fella to go fight Johnny Lawrence.’ I was like all right and so I had to audition for the role and everything… I got the part… Took about two days to film my little portion of the it, I think it’s episode one or two of season five which comes out here on September 9th… It was quite the experience and hopefully I get to do it more.”
In the latest installment of Grappling Fury, Eryk Anders takes on fellow UFC middleweight Andre Petroski in a bout that carries a lot of intrigue. Anders is using the matchup to keep himself active in a safe environment, due to grappling contests carrying a lower injury risk than other types of competition. This is especially ideal when considering Anders will take on Kyle Daukas in 14 weeks’ time on a UFC Fight Night card.
Eryk Anders stated: “My last fight was in May and man, I really don’t like a lot of off time so I figured in between fights I could do wrestling tournaments… I used to do them a lot before I got to the UFC and just wanted to stay active without getting beat up. I think Jiu Jitsu and grappling is pretty safe, this grappling tournament there’s no leg attack which I think tis the most common injury in some of these submission Jujitsu tournaments or Grappler tournaments. The heel hooks and leg locks and things like that, but there are none of those so I think it’s pretty safe. Then I’ll compete at worlds in a GI so you know just trying to stay busy stay active and kind of keep those reflexes.”

The main card for UFC Vegas 55 featured four decisions and some controversial scorecards, particularly in the women’s bantamweight main event between Ketlen Vieira and Holly Holm.
Ketlen Vieira claimed a narrow split-decision victory for the biggest win of her career against former champion Holly Holm. The Brazilian earned 48-47 cards from two judges, while the third judge scored the fight 48-47 in favor of Holm.
The third round of the fight ended up being the difference on the scorecards, likely due to Vieira appearing to rock Holm late in the round. She also very nearly submitted the former champion in the second round.
In the co-main event, Michel Pereira improved his welterweight win streak to five with his own split-decision over Santiago Ponzinibbio. All three judges agreed that Pereira took the first round, but rounds two and three were much less clear. Pereira ended up walking away with a 30-27 and 29-28 scorecard to get the victory.
The results of the main and co-main events brought the event full-circle, as the main card opening bout between middleweights Eryk Anders and Junyong Park also went to a split decision. Park ended up getting the nod in a back-and-forth fight where none of the three rounds received a unanimous score from the judges.
In the only unanimous decision on the main card, Tabatha Ricci picked up her second UFC victory against fellow Brazilian Polyana Viana. “Baby Shark” won rounds 2 and 3 on all three judge’s scorecards.
The only fight of the UFC Vegas 55 main card to not go the distance was the middleweight bout between Chidi Njokuani and Duško Todorovi?. After Todorovi? was able to use his wrestling to control the majority of the opening round, Njokuani landed a vicious elbow to get the knockout victory.
You can check out the full results and highlights from the event here.

The UFC light heavyweight is featured in the preview for the upcoming fifth season of Netflix’s hit show “Cobra Kai.” It seems to be a pretty significant role, as he’ll cross paths with the show’s main character, William Zabka’s portrayal of Johnny Lawrence.

Anders then took to Instagram to follow up on the trailer with a comment, “But is that the end of the fight?”
This is quite the move for Anders, as ‘Cobra Kai’ is one of Netflix’s biggest shows. As it pertains to the Octagon, Anders is 1-1 in his last two fights since jumping up to light heavyweight. The 35-year-old has been competing in the UFC since 2017.
Anders is quite the athletic specimen, as a former starting linebacker for The University of Alabama. It certainly shows in his fighting style, as he’s a very exciting fighter for fans to watch. Currently, his next Octagon appearance is slated for May 21.
He’ll step into the Octagon against Park Jun-yong at UFC on ESPN+ 64 from the UFC Apex in Nevada.

The UFC’s Eryk Andres (22-6 MMA) has taken up his latest challenge against his own power tools this week.
Anders shared the outcome to his followers on his social media, after apparently slicing his foot open after an accident with his chainsaw.
Despite him not explaining the events that led to his foot being sliced up, the photos however displayed it was bad enough to go straight through his shoe, sock, and skin all in one go.
In the social-media post to Instagram, ‘Ya Boi’ titled it: “They don’t make left-handed chainsaws,” wrote Anders alongside the hashtag #HappyFriday.
Warning: The photos below are graphic.
As a result, Eryk Anders had to receive several stitches to fasten the noticeable injury that will surely see him side-lined away from the octagon for the time being.
In spite of his current situation Anders tried to make light of the situation by stating. “Starting training camp on the right foot.”
Following the 34-years-old horrendous accident, Anders showed a video to his fans showing the pool of blood on the driver’s side of the car, while Eryk Anders can be heard exclaiming, “Damn, my DNA (is) everywhere.”
Andrers suffered a first-round submission loss to Andre Muniz at UFC 269 this past December, bringing his record with the UFC to 6-6 (1 NC).
However, prior to his latest showing against Muniz, he went on to defeat Darren Stewart via unanimous decision in what was a light heavyweight rematch at UFC 263.

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has gotten under the skin of some over his ‘Best MMA Boxers’ list, including Nate Diaz and Rafael dos Anjos.
Cormier, along with his DC & RC co-host Ryan Clark, revealed their ‘Top MMA Boxers of All-Time’ lists earlier this week. This comes amidst the ongoing debate and conversation about who the best boxer in the UFC is today.
Cormier’s Top 5 MMA boxers are listed below.
Cormier’s list was not well received by the MMA community as a whole, and more specifically his former fighting colleagues. Fighters such as UFC middleweight Eryk Anders and more recognized names such as Nate Diaz and Rafael dos Anjos blasted Cormier in an Instagram comment section.
“Watchu knows about boxing DC, I’m s**tting on this list,” Diaz commented.
Diaz was followed up by Dos Anjos, who took the opportunity to poke at Cormier for his alleged bias towards his former teammate Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“I’m surprised [Cormier] didn’t put Islam and Khabib on his list,” Dos Anjos said.
This isn’t the first time that Cormier has been roasted for his opinions by UFC fighters. Since making the move from the Octagon to the broadcast booth, fighters such as Dos Anjos and former interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje have come out and criticized Cormier for his alleged favoritism during commentary.
Cormier and Holloway, in particular, are known to have a close relationship outside of competition. He also was accused of not calling Makhachev’s recent win over Dan Hooker at UFC 267 in an objective manner.
Diaz and McGregor, one of the names on Cormier’s list, have had an infamous rivalry for years. It’s not a surprise to many that Diaz would have a problem with McGregor being included in a striking list and not himself.
Cormier remains one of the most prominent voices in MMA media today and will inevitably continue to ruffle the feathers of the fighters over time.
