Rafael dos Anjos is no longer fighting at lightweight, but is still interested in fighting Conor McGregor.
dos Anjos and “The Notorious” were booked to meet at UFC 196 in March 2016, back when the Brazilian held the UFC lightweight championship and McGregor was looking to make history after winning the featherweight gold. A broken foot forced the Brazilian out of the event, and Nate Diaz stepped in.
McGregor became a bigger star despite losing to Diaz that night. dos Anjos is now fighting Neil Magny as a welterweight at Saturday’s UFC 215 in Edmonton, Canada, but is still interested in fighting the Irishman one day.
