An intriguing welterweight pairing is reportedly headed to Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to Combate, former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos is set to square off against one of the division’s top contenders, Kamaru Usman, at the The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale main event.
However, Ali Abdelaziz, Usman’s manager and former manager of Rafael dos Anjos, went on Twitter to say he wasn’t aware of the matchup. He replied to the original report written by Combate’s Raphael Marinho.
Ever since he moved up to welterweight back in June 2017, Rafael dos Anjos (28-10) quickly racked up three wins in a row over Tarec Saffiedine, Neil Magny, and Robbie Lawler.
