MMA Career: Begun training in mixed martial Arts in his early 20's in Calgary, Alberta with Canuckles MMA. Chad immediately displayed a striking prowess and after a brief one fight amateur career (TKO win over Peter Orosz) he turned professional.

At this point Anheliger opted to wipe the slate clean and switch gyms to Champions Creed MMA in Calgary.
