Assessing the landscape of the Conor McGregor fight

Rafael Dos Anjos acknowledged the unconventional matchmaking involving ‘The Notorious’. He said, “He (Conor Mcgregor) fights whoever he wants, he picks his fights“. Discussing the prospective bout with Chandler, the Brazilian former Lightweight Champion conceded that the match could make sense because of TUF 31. However, it may not be entirely justified.

He spoke, “Oh man I think Justin Gaethje is a guy that has fought everybody”. He also didn’t shy away from proposing himself as a worthy challenger, “Uh, who else? Myself. And, yeah, that was the only those guys that come to my mind”. Dos Anjos underlined his argument and stated, “There’s a couple of guys that’s been in the game for very long. They deserve that fight”.
