Anglickas looking to be the next fighter on the Contender Series to get signed and go on to be a rising star for the UFC. Before fighting for the UFC needs to impress Dana White, Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby.

Anglickas being the LFA Light Heavyweight Champion is real achievement but a better achievement is becoming a UFC fighter. Especially an immigrant from Lithuania.
