Rafael dos Anjos believes he gave Khabib Nurmagomedov the toughest fight of his career back when he fought the undefeated Dagestani to a decision at UFC on FOX 11 in 2014.
Khabib dominated most of the action but dos Anjos believes he came close to finishing ‘The Eagle’ with a guillotine choke that almost had the Russian ‘snoring’.
Dos Anjos, who lost the fight via unanimous, posted a video clip of his submission attempt which, per UFC Stats, didn’t actually register as an official submission attempt.
“Khabib said he is not interested in fighting Conor or Dustin as he choked both of them,” Dos Anjos posted on Instagram.
