When their fight fell through five years ago, Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Conor McGregor became one of the ‘what ifs’ in the UFC. Now both in very different places of their respective careers, RDA wants to finally get his shot against McGregor.
After breaking his foot prior to UFC 196 against McGregor, Dos Anjos (30-13) lost his consecutive fights at lightweight and subsequently moved up to 170-pounds. The Brazilian had a mixed bag in his new weight class, going 4-4 in eight fights whilst picking up wins against Kevin Lee and former champion Robbie Lawler.
Speaking recently to MMA Junkie, Dos Anjos gave his thoughts on the 2016 bout that was not to be and explained why he’s McGregor’s kryptonite.
