Anders just wants to coach casuals after hanging up his MMA
gloves. 

Anders took on Brad
Tavares (21-12) in a middleweight matchup at
UFC Vegas 114 on Saturday at the Apex in Las Vegas. “Ya Boi”
earned a hard-fought unanimous decision win over Tavares. Anders
then hung up his gloves inside the Octagon, calling an end to a
professional career spanning over more than a decade. 

Too Much Stress

Anders subsequently revealed that he wants to put on his coach’s
shoes after retiring from professional competition. However, the
38-year-old doesn’t want to coach fighters. Anders explains that
watching one’s students go to war inside the cage is just too
stressful. Anders wants to spend his time teaching jiu-jitsu to
casuals and fitness enthusiasts.

“I’m just gonna be a dad and a coach. I run a gym. Not looking to
coach fighters because that s—t is nerve-wracking, watching your
guy go through that. I just want to coach jiu-jitsu, soccer moms,
working stiffs and things like that.”

Anders (18-9) made his professional debut in 2015 and entered the
UFC as an undefeated prospect just a couple of years later. Anders
went 10-9 in the UFC, consistently taking on battle-tested
opponents. The win over Tavares saw Anders rebound from a knockout
loss against Chris Leroy Duncan.
