Former UFC Champ Rafael dos Anjos Confirms He Passed Out for 3 Minutes Before Eddie Alvarez Bout

This past November, Ultimate Fighting Championship color commentator Joe Rogan claimed that former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos had passed out for three minutes prior to weighing in for his title fight with Eddie Alvarez last July. Now, we've got confirmation from the man himself.

On Monday, dos Anjos joined “The MMA Hour” with Ariel Helwani and confirmed the story that Rogan told over five months ago on Episode 871 of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

"I passed out in the bathtub, in the hot tub. I was out for like almost three minutes,” recalled dos Anjos.
