Rafael dos Anjos ‘needs’ submission over Kevin Lee, wants quick finish on UFC main event

Three fights and almost two years since his last submission win, former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos is starting to miss the feeling of tapping out an opponent.

Paired up against former lightweight contender Kevin Lee, who is moving up to the welterweight division for the first time, Dos Anjos shared with Combate his intention to finish the fight by way of submission, something he hasn’t done since tapping out Neil Magny with an arm-triangle choke, back in September 2017.

“(I predict) a win. Let’s say a submission one. I’m in need of a submission win.
