Eryk Anders faces Tim Williams at UFC Fight Night 135 on Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he will look to rebound from a split decision loss to former Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Lyoto Machida. It stands as the sole blemish on the 10-1 middleweight’s resume.
As Anders zeroes in on Williams, here are five things you might not know about him:
1. He moved around a lot when he was young.
Anders was born on a United States Air Force base in the Philippines, where his mother was stationed at the time.
