A former American football player, the middleweight has 10 wins in 10 fights in his professional record, but sees the Brazilian only as the “next step” in his career, as he said in an interview with the “MMA Junkie Radio” program.
“That's what I wanted. That's the next step. It's another step on the ladder. So I don't think too much or put too much pressure on this fight. He's just the next guy I'm going to face. I'm not excited or silly about facing him. I have to get there, take care of business and continue climbing the middleweight ladder”, commented Anders, who assured that he was not making any specific preparation to deal with the former champion's style of counterattacks.
“For me, it's Lyoto who needs to make specific preparation to face me. I think my pressure will beat him. I won't give him space to do what he does very well, release his kicks. And explode with that left hand. In my opinion, I am the problem in this fight”, he analyzed.
