Anderson returns to action on Saturday against an opponent he had previously faced at UFC 191. Anderson had won the fight against Jan Blachowicz in 2015 at UFC 191 via unanimous decision. He will face Blachowicz at fight night 167 and will look to repeat his previous performance.

“A lot of people don’t realize when we fought then, that was only a year-and-a-half of me fighting period. That was my third fight in the UFC, and I was 5-1. Now I’m 14-4. Preparing back then, I was fighting for a whole other fighter. I’m preparing for someone I’ve never seen. Five years later? That’s half a decade. So, to me, it’s a whole new person. It’s a whole new perspective. His mindset is different,” Anderson said in a recent interview with MMA Junkie.

If he manages to win the fight, he could get a shot at the Light Heavyweight title. However, Anderson said that he was not concentrating beyond Saturday’s fight for the time being.

“At this point in my career, every fight is just another fight. Once we sign a contract, we’re worried about that opponent and that opponent only. We’re going to go out there and do the best we can to dominate that fight. I’m worried about Saturday right now. I just have to worry about Jan Blachowicz.”

Jon Jones could possibly attend the arena but Anderson remained unfazed by it.

“I’m not going to try to do anything but be me. Hopefully he’s got good seats, and he sees a great show,” he said.
