Eryk Anders played for Alabama from 2006-09, but now the former Tide linebacker is rolling in a different sport.

Anders won his third career mixed martial arts fight in Tuscaloosa Saturday night, defeating Garrick James with a third-round TKO at the 4:07 mark.

Strikehard Productions, which put on the fight, posted the video below on its Facebook page.

Unable to make it on an NFL roster, Anders left indoor football and became an MMA fighter in 2012, winning his debut. He will always be best known in Alabama, however, for his forced fumble in the 2010 BCS Championship Game which helped the Crimson Tide secure a win over Texas.
