Eryk Anders vs. Darren Stewart rematch booked for UFC 263 after no-decision in first fight

Eryk Anders and Darren Stewart are getting another chance to take care of business.

The middleweights have been booked for a rematch at UFC 263 on June 12 at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz., the UFC announced Tuesday. Their first meeting ended inconclusively when Anders landed an illegal grounded knee on Stewart late in the first round of their fight at UFC Vegas 21 in March. Referee Herb Dean ruled that the strike was accidental and the official result was a no-decision.

Due to the quick turnaround, the rematch will be contested at 205 pounds, a division above the usual weight class for both fighters.
