Taps out to Jose Johnson
Anheliger lost to Jose Johnson via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:49 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Anheliger was down two rounds on all three scorecards, so he was going to drop a unanimous decision if he didn't tap out with 11 seconds remaining. Chad was simply giving up too much size to Johnson to make any headway on the feet. He did manage to connect on 4-of-8 takedowns for 6:18 worth of control time, but it was seemingly always Johnson who ended up in the more dominant position on the mat. A couple weeks shy of his 37th birthday and with no history of defeating better competition, Anheliger -- who has lost two straight -- will almost certainly be fighting for his job his next time out.

Suffers first UFC defeat
Anheliger lost to Heili Alateng via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 279 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It might not seem like much, but Anheliger deserves credit for simply surviving the first round, let alone seeing the final bell. Although he was never knocked down at any point, Chad ate about a half-dozen shots in the opening frame which would have put away any mere mortal. Anheliger actually improved as the bout progressed, but it wasn't enough for him to steal a round, let alone win the fight. A product of Dana White's Contender Series, the soon-to-be 36-year-old Canadian drops to 1-1 in his first couple UFC bouts.
