Rafael dos Anjos chases UFC fight with rival Conor McGregor: ‘I would like to have it on my record’

Former undisputed UFC lightweight admits that he is still chasing a long-awaited fight with former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor – after the Brazilian was forced from a title defense against the Dubliner back in 2016.

dos Anjos, a former undisputed lightweight champion and the current #9 ranked lightweight contender, most recently featured on the main card of UFC Fight Night Orlando back in December of last year against Bryan Barberena, landing a second round rear-naked choke submission win.

Returning to the welterweight limit, Niteroi native, dos Anjos, who was linked with a recent main event slot against Armenian grappler, Arman Tsarukyan – admitted that he would only be entertaining fights at the welterweight limit of 170lbs for the time being.
