Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight king Rafael dos Anjos will make his first Octagon appearance later tonight (Sat., Nov. 5, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 98 live on FOX Sports 1 from inside Arena Ciudad de México in Mexico City, Mexico, since losing his 155-pound title to Eddie Alvarez this past July. His opponent, Tony Ferguson, will try to validate his eight-fight win streak by defeating the biggest adversary he has ever encountered.
In many regards, RDA vs. Ferguson will spit out the next lightweight title contender. As Alvarez defends his championship for the first time later this month at UFC 205 opposite Conor McGregor, dos Anjos and Ferguson will try to jockey for position in the most crowded weight class in the promotion and impress before 2016 comes to a close.
