Without the risk of being left without an opponent in the UFC 272, which takes place this Saturday (5), Rafael dos Anjos breathe in relief. Knowing that you will face Renato Moicano, substitute for Raphael Fiziev over the weekend, the Brazilian did not hide his relief. On social media, in addition to thanking his compatriot, the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg) took the opportunity to poke fun at Islam makhachev.

“Different opponent, same objective. Thank you, Rafael Moicano, for agreeing to face me at the last minute”, wrote Rafael, in his account on Twitter.
Gratitude on one hand and provocation on the other. Willing to resume his status as challenger in the division he led between 2015 and 2016, Dos Anjos took advantage of the 'cue' to provoke Islam makhachev, who offered to replace Fiziev, but ended up not completing the agreement.
“He bluffed. I paid and he (Makhachev) farted in the farofa”, she published.
This weekend, Dos Anjos will have his second fight since returning to lightweight. Current number six in the rankings, the Brazilian returns to the octagon in an attempt to advance in the division, currently led by Charles of the Bronx.
Responsible for trying to surprise Rafael, Renato will fight less than a month after his last commitment. The athlete is coming off a great victory over Alexander Hernandez, in a clash held on February 12th.
Different opponent same goal. Thank you @moicanoufc for step in on a short notice. https://t.co/vx7TQqh2uf

He bluffed...I banked and he farted in the farofa.
