LAS VEGAS – Corey Anderson ’s recent switch from the UFC to Bellator may have raised a few eyebrows among the MMA fanbase, but the 30-year-old light heavyweight winner of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 19 has made clear that he thinks the move was the right one for his career – and UFC president Dana White agrees. The UFC granted Anderson (13-5 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) his release to allow him to negotiate a deal with Bellator, and now “Overtime” will slot into the promotion’s competitive light heavyweight division as an instant contender at 205 pounds.
