Fighting Stance Media caught up with #11-ranked UFC light heavyweight Corey Anderson at Dead Serious MMA 21 in Freehold, New Jersey. He attended the event as a coach for Nick Catone MMA gym’s four amateur fighters that were on the card.

Corey shares his funniest moment as a UFC fighter, recalls his favorite matches, and explains his style and perspective as a coach to the next generation of fighters, stating that the first thing he tells them is, “Work hard.” The hard work certainly paid off for one of his fighters, Nathaniel Flutz, who won the 147-154 lb belt by unanimous decision in the main event later that night.
