Ex-NFL Linebacker Anthony Wint Is Ready for His UFC Debut

Former NFL linebacker Anthony Wint joins Sports Illustrated ahead of his UFC debut against Terrance Chatman at UFC Sacramento, just 11 days after earning his contract with a dominant 34-second TKO on Dana White's Contender Series. The undefeated heavyweight discusses his whirlwind introduction to the UFC, why he immediately asked Dana White to let him fight again, his journey from playing for the New York Jets to pursuing MMA, and why he believes his football background and explosive finishing ability can make him a force in the UFC heavyweight division.
