Eryk Anders asked for a fight with Lyoto Machida at UFC Belem, and he got it. The pair of middleweights will collide in a five-round main event in Belem, Brazil, on Feb. 3, sources confirmed to MMA Fighting following a report by MMA Today.
Anders (10-0) enters his first UFC main event backed by a pair of dominating wins over Brazilian middleweights Rafael Natal and Markus Perez. The undefeated American only went the distance three times in a little over than three years as a professional MMA fighter.
