Goes distance in loss to Justin Ledet
Anyanwu lost to Justin Ledet via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Taking the fight on four days' notice, Anyanwu hung tough in what was a 15-minute kickboxing match. Neither man was particularly impressive, but at least Zu has the excuse that he entered as a last-minute injury replacement. The issue for Zu moving forward is going to be his lack of foot speed. Signed fresh off an appearance on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders Series, Zu will get another opportunity with the company.
