UFC Record Breakdown
Two middleweight veterans who've seen it all are throwing down at the APEX, and both guys are coming off rough patches. Brad Tavares just ate a brutal third round TKO from Robert Bryczek back in September, snapping a nice win over Gerald Meerschaert. Meanwhile, Eryk Anders got starched by Christian Leroy Duncan in the first round last August, which really stung after he'd finished Chris Weidman at UFC 310. Here's what makes this interesting. Tavares is the classic Hawaiian striker who stays patient and picks his shots, but he's been getting caught late in fights lately. That Rodrigues knockout in 2024 and now the Bryczek finish show a concerning pattern.
If this gets to the third round, someone's getting finished based on how both guys have been fading late.
Anders is the former college linebacker who brings that football mentality, mixing heavy hands with wrestling when he needs it. Remember when he beat Kyle Daukaus with ground and pound in 2022? Dude can finish fights. The technical matchup is wild because both guys are southpaw versus orthodox, and both have been getting clipped standing. Tavares landed 56 strikes against Meerschaert but couldn't keep that momentum going. Anders put up 83 strikes and five takedowns against Jamie Pickett, showing he can grind when needed.
Someone's chin is getting tested early, and with both fighters dealing with recent knockout losses, the first exchange could be everything. Both fighters desperately need this one. Tavares has dropped three of his last four and is fighting to stay relevant in the division. Anders is trying to prove that Duncan knockout was just a bad night and get back in the win column. Whoever lands first and often probably walks out with their hand raised.
