The former UFC Lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos made his return to the Lightweight division at UFC Vegas 14 in a fight against Paul Felder. Felder accepted this fight in just five-day notice and he showed the heart of ‘Irish Dragon’ but RDA was exceptional in this fight and for Felder, it was hard to match him.

In the post-match press conference, RDA gave a call out to Conor McGregor. He says, “If Khabib really retired, it will leave the division-wide open…. I think me and Conor is the fight to make”. Dos Anjos has already stated before that only he and Conor are the former champions in this division and they deserve the chance more than anyone.

‘The Notorious’ accepted RDA’s challenge and says, “Respect to both the man for making this fight and event happen tonight. Good Fight! I’m in for sure”. He issued one more tweet saying, “Dustin first, but I’m down for it all. Throwback to this classic lol. Look at Dana Hahaha Vintage MMA Entertainment. EL Chap!”.

Conor vs Dos Anjos canceled back at UFC 196

RDA and ‘The Notorious’

The classic fight between Conor McGregor and Rafael Dos Anjos was booked back at UFC 196. That time Dos Anjos was the lightweight champion and Conor was the number one contender. But RDA ended up getting injured that ruled out this fight.

Since then there is a beef between these two that needs to be settled. Both of these former champs respect each other but they are looking forward to facing each other since then and now with RDA returning to Lightweight, this fight can be made.

If Conor gets passed ‘The Diamond’, it is going to be interested to see him facing Rafael Dos Anjos.
