Anderson quickly volunteered on social media and the UFC made it happen, sources confirmed to MMA Fighting after a report from Combate.

Anderson also announced on Instagramthat he has signed a new contract with the UFC.

He won 2 of 3 last year and went to the 5th round with Gus in the loss. Not setting the world on fire maybe, but still active and still competitive.
