Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Corey Anderson after UFC on ESPN+ 25 loss?

(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Jan Blachowicz and UFC on ESPN+ 25’s other key winners?)

Corey Anderson’s opportunity to solidify a chance to fight for a UFC title was soured on Saturday when he fell short against Jan Blachowicz in the UFC on ESPN+ 25 headliner.

Anderson (13-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) was stopped with a brutal first-round knockout courtesy of the Polish punching power possessed by Blachowicz (26-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC). As a result, Anderson’s four-fight winning streak came to an end.

Still only 30, what does the loss mean for Anderson? Watch the video above for analysis on his future and why Misha Cirkunov (15-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) would be a compelling matchup coming out of the main event loss at Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, N.M.
