Last Saturday night, on the undercard of UFC 231 in Toronto, Eryk Anders got his long-awaited fight<\/a> with Canada’s Elias Theodorou. While Anders had Theodorou visibly hurt in the second round \u2014 perhaps even enough to justify a 10-8 score \u2014 Theodorou was ultimately awarded a split decision win on the basis of his success his success in the first and third frames.<\/p>\n

While Eryk Anders has been classy in the wake of this loss, he recently announced his intention to fight in America for his next few fights, where he’s less likely to face any sort of judging bias.<\/p>\n
