A former champion has the opportunity to prove he still belongs on the short list in his new weight class, while a fighter with championship aspirations finally has himself a big-name fight.
That’s all down to a highly consequential welterweight main event put together for The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale, where former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos will sqare off with Kamaru Usman. The UFC announced the fight, which will be held Friday, Nov. 30 at the Pearl at the Palms Theatre in Las Vegas, on Tuesday.
Dos Anjos (28-10) is looking to shake off a unanimous decision loss to Colby Covington in an interim welterweight title fight at UFC 225.
