Corey Anderson on Israel Adesanya vs. Jan Blachowicz: It’s about the money, not what makes sense

Former UFC light heavyweight contender and new Bellator acquisition Corey Anderson shrugs at a superfight in his old division.

An upcoming meeting between middleweight champ Israel Adesanya and light-heavy champ Jan Blachowicz might be good for the UFC’s bottom line, but the fighters beneath them lose out.

“You’ve got [Santos] and Glover [Teixeira] fighting this weekend, which is [No. 1] versus [No. 3], which would be a title contention fight in the UFC,” said Anderson, who on Thursday makes his Bellator debut against Melvin Manhoef at Bellator 251.
