Rafael dos Anjos with a flash of his stellar resume can make a case to be called the top pound-for-pound fighter in the sport.
Dos Anjos will defend the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title against Eddie Alvarez in the UFC Fight Night “Dos Anjos vs. Alvarez” headliner on Thursday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Their five-round battle for 155-pound gold will serve as the marquee attraction on a 12-fight card that will stream in its entirety to UFC Fight Pass.
A Kings MMA representative who has blossomed under the tutelage of Rafael Cordeiro, dos Anjos will enter the cage with the wind of a five-fight winning streak in his sails.
