“Me and Conor McGregor!”- Rafael Dos Anjos Calls Out Conor McGregor for UFC Lightweight Fight

Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos spoke out to Michael Bisping post-fight after his win at UFC Vegas 14. ‘RDA’ won a hard-fought decision victory on the scorecards against Paul Felder who took the fight on five-days notice. The two had a back-and-forth war that saw Dos Anjos put forth one of the best performances of his career.

Rafael put together one of the most complete performances in his career. He accrued almost 14 minutes of control time on the ground and the clinch combined. Furthermore, he mixed in almost 50 head strikes and six takedowns to turn the tide in his favor.

By the end, there was little doubt that RDA had done enough to solidify a clear-cut win on the scorecards.

Rafael dos Anjos is keen to chase the UFC lightweight strap once more, and he’s certainly inching towards that goal. He’s accrued 15 wins in the division and will aim to reach the divisional leader who has 19 wins. Additionally, it’s Dos Anjos’ well-rounded game that makes him a threat to once again capture gold.

Rafael Dos Anjos calls out ‘The Notorious’

The Brazilian veteran had plenty to say after his five-round war against ‘The Irish Dragon’ in the main event for UFC Vegas 14. He broke down his grueling path back to the UFC’s Octagon and the late change in opponents. Furthermore, he called his shot against former two-division Conor McGregor and is looking to face off against the Irishman.

“I think I want to face whoever is on the line for that belt. I know I got a lot in me still, at 36 years old, tonight was my thirtieth UFC appearance I think.”

“If Khabib is really retired it will leave the division wide open and if you look to the contenders I think that only me and Conor we are the only real champions on that division. Everybody else is interim champions so I think if the division is open me and Conor is the fight to make.”

McGregor and Dos Anjos were slated to fight each other in 2016 when ‘RDA’ was the undisputed lightweight champion. Moreover, the two pose a stylistic treat for fans as their striking is as elite as it gets. Per Rafael dos Anjos’ point, if Khabib Nurmagomedov is truly retired, this opens the door to a massive former ‘Champ vs Champ’ match-ups. There is no doubt that fans will get behind this booking.
