Rafael dos Anjos decided to move up to welterweight after losing two in a row in the UFC, but struggling to make 155 pounds was the main reason he decided to stop cutting so much weight.
The 32-year-old Brazilian lost the UFC lightweight belt to Eddie Alvarez last July, and confirmed a story recently told by UFC commentator Joe Rogan that he passed out prior to the UFC Fight Night 90 main event.
"I passed out in the bathtub, in the hot tub. I was out for like almost three minutes,” dos Anjos said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
