🏈 Eryk Anders

Took my son to the MMA fight in Tuscaloosa and got to see Eryk Anders fight. He beat the crap out of the guy he was fighting but lost to an arm bar.

Extra treat was that Eddie Lacy was there to see Eryk. Eddie is a BIG guy. I really hate that I didnt get to get a pic with either of them.

His stand-up is really good. He hits like a freight train. He just made a "rookie" mistake that got him beat on the ground. He was on top of the guy beating him. But the guy trapped Eryk's arm. Instead of pulling his arm back to him close to the body, he tried to pull away which extended his arm and setup the arm bar. Here's the guy that beat him.

Reach out to Eryk. He's a good dude. He'll take a pic with your kid when he's down that way again.

He's in the midst of cutting weight to 195# (I think?). He's usually pretty good. He got into it because he craved contact and the competition that football provided.
