Just a little over five years ago, former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos lost a thrilling five-round unanimous decision to Tony Ferguson. With no fight booked for either man at the moment, RDA wants to run it back.
Dos Anjos tweeted at Ferguson and indicated that he’s ready to fight on February 19th.
Dos Anjos (30-13) returned to lightweight in 2020 after consecutive welterweight defeats to Leon Edwards and Michael Chiesa. The Brazilian won a split decision over short notice replacement Paul Felder, but did not fight at all in 2021 after he withdrew from a planned UFC 267 showdown with Islam Makhachev.
