After five years of competing in the UFC, Anderson is ready to start fresh with Bellator. He left the promotion as one of the top contenders in the division. Now with Bellator, Anderson has become an immediate threat in Bellator’s light heavyweight division. He is looking to bounce back from his knockout loss against Jan Blachowicz from February 15th at UFC Fight Night 167. An impressive win over Manhoef may lead to a number one contender fight for the Bellator light heavyweight championship.
