I want to be very clear about possibilities of me fighting at 155. There’s only scenario that I would go back to 155. 1: fight for the title (Islam) 2:Fight Conor. Other than that don’t even waste your time calling me out or tagging me.
Dos Anjos last fought against Brian Barberena in December 2022 at UFC on ESPN 42. Rafael won that fight by second-round submission.
Dos Anjos was out in July 2022 as part of the UFC on ESPN 39 tournament against Rafael Fiziev. That fight, which was stopped in the fifth round, ended in a knockout loss to the Brazilian. He has 32 wins and 14 losses on his record.
