PHOENIX – Corey Anderson is looking forward to taking on a former training partner in the semifinals of the light heavyweight grand prix. Anderson (15-5 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) exited the UFC in 2020 and has racked up two stoppage wins in a row after joining Bellator. Now just one fight away from the grand prix finals, he must get through a familiar face in Ryan Bader, someone who he believes he has an edge on. The light heavyweight grand prix semifinal bout serves as the co-main event of Bellator 268 , which takes place on Saturday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. The event airs on Showtime following prelims streamed on MMA Junkie.
