Donald Cerrone was just 'trying to get a rise' out of Rafael dos Anjos with steroid comments

Top UFC lightweight contender Donald Cerrone takes back his steroid comments over Rafael dos Anjos.

Earlier in July, future UFC title challenger Donald Cerrone accused Rafael dos Anjos of using steroids. Despite outclassing Anthony Pettis at UFC 185 to claim the lightweight title, the newly minted champion has received backlash for his accomplishments.

After mixed success in his UFC career, dos Anjos reinvented himself as a upper echelon lightweight fighter and has surged to the top of the 155 lbs. rankings as a force to be reckoned with. The Brazilian's stunning win over 'Showtime' in March elicited suspicion from MMA pundits and fighters, with many questioning the champ's legitimacy.
