Rafael dos Anjos warns: 'I don't want McGregor. I want the belt'

Former UFC lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos bet that Conor McGregor will make history and become the first athlete to hold two belts simultaneously in the main fight organization on the planet. The Brazilian believes that the Irishman will get the better of Eddie Alvarez in the main fight of UFC 205, which takes place on November 12th, in New York (USA).

Dos Anjos knows the game of both athletes well: he studied McGregor's style in depth for the fight they would have in March, and, months later, he lost the belt to Alvarez. According to the athlete, McGregor's stand-up game will be the difference in the fight.

“I think McGregor will win this fight. I believe this because of his style. Alvarez also has a good striking, of course, but McGregor, being a southpaw, has a bit of an advantage”, pointed out Dos Anjos, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Junkie”.

Thus, the Brazilian has a very simple plan in mind: defeat Tony Ferguson No. UFC Mexico, next Saturday (5), and see up close who could be his next opponent. “Yes, I will be in New York to see the fight. Regardless [of the result]. Of course I prefer victory, but I will be there in the front row watching the fight,” he said.
