“I want two belts too. I want to be double champion, like my friend DC (Daniel Cormier), and Triple C (Heny Cejudo). Let me do this. I want all of that,” Anderson said.

This weekend, Corey made Bellator's investment worth it. Hired at the end of 2020 from the UFC, the fighter achieved his third consecutive victory, and in a brutal way.

Against Ryan, former light heavyweight champion, Anderson needed less than a minute to settle the bill. In addition to the great show, the athlete went to the final of the division tournament and will face Vadim nemkov for the group's belt and the US$1 million prize.

Former leader of the under-93kg category, Bader still holds the linear heavyweight belt. The fighter has been at the top of the division since 2019.
