Former UFC light heavyweight Corey Anderson has accused the UFC headman, Dana White, of lying in his name.

While Anderson has already defected to Bellator, he is still to move past his tainted relationship with Dana White. That said, ‘Overtime’ Anderson doesn’t agree with the answers provided by White following his split with the promotion.

Corey Anderson says he is watching them all

No doubt, Anderson was a big-time prodigy and his exit has disheartened a bunch of UFC fans. In the post-fight press conference at UFC on Vegas 7, White was asked to explain Corey Anderson’s move to the Bellator. White billed it as a good move for the American, saying, “He can be more competitive.”

Well, Anderson is not ready to accept that. The 30-year-old has responded to White’s claims on Twitter and has dismissed it as a bluff.

The light heavyweight contender says that there are a bunch of people who are aware of how things really went down and are still choosing to maintain silence.

“It doesn’t bother me that he’s still lyin on my name. Anyone who knows me or knows MMA knows this isn’t true. But what doesn’t sit right with me is the people I consider close to me who have power that knows this isn’t true are sitting quiet. Just know I see you,” wrote Anderson.

Dana White hasn’t responded to Anderson’s claims yet. However, if you tell him that the Bellator has the best light heavyweight roster now, with the inception of Anderson and others, the UFC President will certainly disagree.

In fact, White tagged such claims that were made by Bellator’s CEO, Scott Coker, as one of the funniest things he had ever heard.

‘Overtime’ in the Bellator

Anderson hasn’t received an official date for his debut in the Bellator. However, his entry has clearly intensified the momentum in the promotion’s light heavyweight roster.

Bellator holds some big names in the division, and Anderson fits in perfectly. He has been a dominant force in the UFC, having notched several big wins. And there is no reason for that pattern to change anytime soon.
