Anders (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) made one hell of a UFC entrance at last Saturday’s UFC on FOX 25, where he plowed through octagon veteran Rafael Natal (22-8-1 MMA, 9-7-1 UFC) en route to a first-round knockout . After the fight, he spoke a little about his background as a linebacker – and even explained why he prefers his new sport . Speaking to MMAjunkie Radio, Anders says word of his win had already spread among his football peers. And while he’s yet to hear from Alabama coach Nick Saban, he would assume at this point he’s caught wind of his spectacular UFC debut.

Following the preliminary card scrap with Kelleher (17-8 MMA, 1-1 UFC), Vera (10-3-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) pointed to Rivera backing out of an agreed-to UFC Fight Night 103 meeting as motivation behind the callout . Rivera, however, went on to win his main card bout with Thomas Almeida a few hours after that – and, in the process, made a pair of high-profile callouts of his own. While Vera would like that fight, he can totally understand why Rivera would rather make a title bid. Which leaves us with Johns (14-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC). Why target specifically a man who, though undefeated, has only two fights on his record

But unlike other callouts that took place that night, there is no bad blood behind Kennedy’s (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC). Speaking to reporters after his unanimous decision win over Kyle Bochniak (7-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC), the featherweight offered a respectful and simple explanation for his interest in Maynard (13-6-1 MMA, 11-6-1 UFC). “Everyone knows who Gray Maynard is,” Kennedy said after the preliminary card scrap, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass from NYCB LIVE at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y.
