Corey Anderson Dominates Heavyweight Debut, Eyes Francis Ngannou Fight

Corey Anderson's transition to the heavyweight division marks a new chapter in his MMA career. After a year-long layoff, Anderson showcased his skills by defeating Denis Goltsov with a second-round TKO. Anderson's wrestling and ground-and-pound proved too much for Goltsov, leading to the stoppage.

With this victory, Anderson has immediately placed himself in contention for significant fights in the PFL's heavyweight division. The prospect of a fight against Francis Ngannou is particularly intriguing, given Ngannou's status as a former UFC champion and current PFL star. Anderson's willingness to face Ngannou, provided the financial terms are met, sets the stage for a potentially massive PFL event.

Anderson's decision to move up in weight was driven by a lack of compelling matchups at light heavyweight. With former Bellator champion Ryan Bader's departure and uncertainty surrounding the division's future, Anderson sought new challenges and opportunities at heavyweight. This move allows him to compete against fresh opponents and potentially capture another championship.

Anderson felt there were a lack of compelling matchups at light heavyweight and sought new challenges.
