Eryk Anders will square off against Krzysztof Jotko in a middleweight clash at UFC Portland.
The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed the booking on Tuesday. UFC Fight Night 172 take place at the Moda Center in Portland, Ore., on April 11 and is headlined by a heavyweight showdown between Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris. The card will stream on ESPN+.
Anders enters the matchup on a two-bout winning streak. After scoring a first-round knockout of Vinicius Moreira Castro at UFC on ESPN 3, the former University of Alabama football player garnered a split verdict against Gerald Meerschaert at UFC Fight Night 161. The 32-year-old Spartan Fitness product is 5-4 in the UFC and 13-4 as a professional overall.
Jotko is also on a two-fight winning streak after earning decision wins over Alen Amedovski and Marc-Andre Barriault in his only two UFC appearances of 2019. Jotko has experienced an up-and-down promotional tenure, winning six of his first seven outings before enduring a three-bout skid from May 2017 to April 2018. The 30-year-old Pole owns a 21-4 career mark overall.
