UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos believes he is finally earning the respect he deserves.
Last year, Rafael dos Anjos knocked out Ben Henderson to announce himself as a legitimate contender in the UFC"s lightweight division. However, even with that inspired victory notched under his belt, few gave dos Anjos a chance when he challenged rising star Anthony Pettis for the title. That was until his dominant five-round thrashing of the champion took place back at UFC 185.
Speaking to MMAFighting.com, Dos Anjos explained that he finally believes he is getting the respect that he deserves.
