I'm not out here living a fake life: Corey Anderson

Corey Anderson blasted UFC for promoting politics and drama. He said he left UFC because he doesn’t want to have a fake life. Anderson also said that he is not the type of person who “puts up nonsense on Instagram”. Corey remained a top-five light heavyweight contender in UFC from 2014-2020. He left in August 2020 to make a career in Bellator, where he is ranked number two right now in “Light Heavyweight” rankings. He is set to face Ryan Bader for the light heavyweight title on sixteenth October.

Corey Anderson, Mixed Martial Artist, Bellator 268
I love it at Bellator. It's very comforting and there's no drama. There's no politics and that's the biggest thing. I go out there to do my job and I want to be rewarded for that and that's it. At Bellator, I get that. "I don't post nonsense on Instagram. I'm not out here living a fake life. I'm a simple country boy from Rockford, Illinois. I grew up with 12 other people in my town. I still live the same way. I drive used vehicles and I wear used clothes. I don't spend money because I'm not like that - I'm not flashy and people don't like that. When you've got money they want to see this limelight, they want to see you act like a celebrity. I hate when people say, 'oh you are a celebrity and you are famous.' I shut them down and say stop, don't say that. I'm no different to you and that's the reason why I have never had a bunch of fans behind me. I continue just to be an average Joe.
