Rafael dos Anjos not fazed by Covington’s trash talk, but says Brazilian fans want him dead

Colby Covington might have called the entire country of Brazil a ‘dump’ and its countrymen ‘filthy animals’, but Rafael dos Anjos isn’t going to let his emotions get the better of him at UFC 225, where he will meet ‘Chaos’ in the co-main event for the interim welterweight title.

‘RDA’ might not have taken the bait, but his fellow Brazilians are out for blood next Saturday. Speaking at a recent media scrum in Los Angeles, dos Anjos told MMA Junkie that Brazil is rooting for him to not just just beat Covington but to give the American the biggest beating of his life.
