Ex-Footballer Eryk Anders Brutalizes MMA Veteran in UFC Debut on Long Island

It seemed like Eryk Anders was being thrown into the deep end for his UFC debut at UFC on Fox 25. His opponent, Rafael Natal, is a tested veteran with 16 UFC fights in his career. How much of a shot could a UFC beau with under two years of pro experience have?

Well, a pretty darn good shot, apparently.

Anders, a former linebacker for the Alabama Crimson Tide and Cleveland Browns, posted a brutal knockout victory over the Brazilian at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Check it out above.

It's still very early in Anders' career, but there's a lot to like about him going forward. Make sure to check out his next fight, which will likely come before year's end.
