Current UFC lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis comes on a long and impressive winning streak. The American hasn't known what it's like to lose since 2011 and has submitted all of his last four opponents, including names like Gilbert Melendez, Benson Henderson and Donald Cerrone. However, your next opponent, Rafael dos Anjos, does not see the champion as an invincible athlete.

In an interview with the North American website “MMA Junkie”, the Brazilian stated that, due to the level of the fighters, the fight between the two will not tolerate mistakes from either side. “He's a good fighter, but I don't think he's invincible. We are at the top of the category, and whoever makes a mistake in the fight will pay for it”, he analyzed.
About to fight the most important fight of his career, Dos Anjos highlighted that he is fully focused on performing well inside the octagon, leaving aside possible distractions that a big fight can provide. "I'm not one superstar. I had to work hard to feed my children. I came from down there, I know how difficult it is. I didn't have rich parents to help me. I've always carried extra pressure, but this time, I finally feel like I'll get my chance. I have a chance to change my life and I will,” she commented. “I worked my whole life for this day, the day I will fight for the title. I feel very blessed. For the first time I will fight without pressure. I'm happy just to be there, in this position, and I'm definitely very confident for this fight. “
the fight between Rafael dos Anjos e Anthony Pettis will headline UFC 185 on March 14th.
