Overview
- Koslow submitted Anheliger with a rear‑naked choke at 4:31 of the third round in a three‑round preliminary at Rogers Place on Saturday, securing his first UFC win.
- The finish followed sustained top control and heavy ground pressure that wore down Anheliger across three rounds before Koslow trapped the neck and forced the tap.
- Both fighters made the 135‑pound bantamweight limit at the Oct. 16 weigh‑in and pre‑fight DraftKings lines favored Koslow over Anheliger.
- Anheliger entered the fight with a deliberately lower‑volume camp arranged around a newborn and gym duties, a preparation he said aimed to avoid overtraining but that left him tested by Koslow’s wrestling.
- Koslow’s win ends a 1,407‑day absence from competition and should boost his standing in the division while leaving Anheliger to address whether his family‑balanced camp needs tactical changes for future fights.
