In an interview with the North American program The MMA Hour, the jiu-jitsu black belt said that he deserves to face Woodley for the title, as he overcame the last champion before him in an overwhelming way.
“I beat the toughest guy in the division. And the way I won, I don't see anyone else capable of challenging the Tyron woodley. I think I deserve to fight for the title. Now it's my turn (…) I'm on my way to becoming the first Brazilian champion in two UFC divisions and being the welterweight champion. I have no doubt that this will happen. This is my time”, assured Dos Anjos.
If he wins the welterweight title, the Brazilian will join a select group of two-time UFC world champions, which includes Randy Couture (light heavyweight and heavyweight), B.J. Penn (light and medium-medium, Conor McGregor (feather and light) and Georges St Pierre (welterweight and midfielder). Of these, only McGregor had the honor of winning both belts at the same time.
