Rafael dos Anjos: Tyron Woodley wants an easy opponent, Nate Diaz fight ‘would be a joke’

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is willing to put his belt on the line against Nate Diaz, who is on board with the idea. What does No. 1 contender Rafael dos Anjos think about all this?

A former UFC lightweight champion, dos Anjos is 3-0 since moving up to 170 pounds, including an impressive victory over Robbie Lawler in December, and is confident that he is next in line for the title. However, he’s worried that Woodley’s quest for money fights might change the company’s plans.
