Rafael dos Anjos picked up a statement win over Robbie Lawler via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC on Fox 26 from Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Canada.
The welterweight took the former champion to task for five rounds, picking up the clean sweep on all three judges' scorecards (50-45).
The first round was marked by an impressive start for Dos Anjos. RDA was able to counter Lawler's pressure with leg kicks and score some points of his own in the clinch, answering the early question of whether Lawler would be too strong for the former lightweight.
