Middleweights are the latest addition to the UFC’s March 13 card.
Former University of Alabama linebacker and LFA champion Eryk Anders will return to action to face the United Kingdom’s Darren Stewart at the UFC Fight Night card. The event does not currently have a publicly known location or venue.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Anders (13-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) has won two of his most recent three fights. Following wins over Vinicius Moreira and Gerald Meerschaert, Anders lost a unanimous decision to Krzysztof Jotko in May.
Stewart (12-6 MMA, 5-6 UFC) has won three of five outings entering the fight – but also dropped two of his most recent three. He most recently competed in September 2020 when he lost a unanimous decision to Kevin Holland.
The updated UFC Fight Night lineup for March 13 includes:
- Leon Edwards vs. Khamzat Chimaev
- Davey Grant vs. Jonathan Martinez
- Matthew Semelsberger vs. Jason Witt
- Jinh Yu Frey vs. Gloria de Paula
- Ciryl Gane vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik
