First placed in the UFC's weight-for-pound rankings today, Jon Jones was not on the fence about betting on the most anticipated UFC fight at the beginning of 2016. And, even though the former champion says he is a big fan of Conor McGregor, he believes that Rafael dos Anjos will prevail in the main fight of UFC 196.

Dos Anjos' performance against Donald Cerrone It was precisely the factor that made him lean towards the Brazilian. On that occasion, Rafael dispatched the American quickly, in just over a minute, to defend the organization's lightweight belt.
“I'm a big fan of McGregor, but I'm becoming a big fan of Dos Anjos. Based on Dos Anjos' performances, I think I'm going to bet on him. I'm not rooting for anyone, but if I had to put my money on someone, it would be Dos Anos. Cerrone is my teammate, I saw him in his preparation for the fight and I knew he was ready to be champion. The way the fight unfolded showed me the level Dos Anjos is at”, analyzed the former champion, in an interview with the YouTube channel “Make it Rainah”.
the fight between Rafael dos Anjos e Conor McGregor is scheduled for March 5th, in Las Vegas (USA). It will be a duel of champions: the Brazilian holds the lightweight belt (up to 70 kg), and the Irishman holds the featherweight title (up to 66 kg). If McGregor wins, he will be the first fighter in UFC history to hold two titles simultaneously.
