A major featherweight matchup is set for action this Friday night.
Neal Anderson (10-4) of Edmonton, Alta., will face Lucas Neufeld (6-1) at Unified MMA 43, taking place March 4 at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Enoch, Alta.
Anderson, 34, is getting ready for Neufeld at Shaved Bears MMA and Little Sweatshop, a gym that consistently produces a wide variety of fighters, styles, and some of Canada's top MMA prospects.
This pairing was originally planned for Unified MMA 40, but the August matchup was cancelled when Neufeld suffered an injury.
Anderson has known about Neufeld's game for some time, but more intensive film review has been underway as the camp has dug deeper into preparations for this rematch.
"I believe I went back and watched his last bout when I had thought we were fighting," Anderson told MMA Empire. "Then I re-watched it recently and checked out one of his earlier fights too. I've been paying attention to his style. He shows up looking to fight and isn't shy about going for it. In one or maybe both of the fights I reviewed, he'd charge right into the center of the cage the second the bell rang and start throwing spinning kicks and other techniques."
"His nickname is 'The Wild Thing,' and he pulls off some truly wild moves. When you're matched up with a fighter like that, I don't see this turning into a dull affair. Given his style and how my fights typically play out, I think fans are in for something quite exciting."
