Dos Anjos hints at Alvarez fight in July but open to fight 'anybody, any weight'

On Wednesday, lightweight kingpin Rafael dos Anjos called for a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov in July. The Brazilian has had a change of heart, however, after Nurmagomedov has been booked with late-replacement Darrell Horcher following Tony Ferguson's withdrawl from the UFC on FOX 19 main event.

Dos Anjos, who has called out Robbie Lawler in the past and was expected to defend his title against Conor McGregor last month (the Kings MMA fighter pulled out with a broken foot), is desperate for a spot on the UFC 200 PPV and believes he'll be fighting Eddie Alvarez.
