Rafael dos Anjos wants to fight for the lightweight belt with Charles do Bronx, but he needs to beat Fiziev in the early hours of next Sunday, 10th, to achieve the feat; check out!
Rafael dos Anjos alerted the UFC and announced that he wants to face Charles do Bronx in your next fight if you win fiziev in the early hours of this Sunday, 10th. The Brazilian will be the main event in Las Vegas and wants to resume his path to the belt in the lightweight division. He even made it clear that he had a conversation with Dana White to carry out the combat with the compatriot.
In Rafael dos Anjos’ view, in the event of a victory against Fiziev, he will be ahead of other rivals such as Conor McGregor and Makhachev in the fight for the belt. Therefore, the Brazilian warned that he wants to have Charles do Bronx as his next rival. The fighter does not hide his desire to emerge victorious in the lightweight division again in his career.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
“More correct would be what Dana said. That Benny would have to fight Islam for not having accepted the fight with me. He got ready to fight and ran from the fight. He just spoke bluffing. Right was Islam with Benny, as Dana White had said. Me beating Rafael now, it would be me and Charles in Brazil in December or January. I think it would be the ideal setting for me. Conor has a lot of leverage, it would be nice because of the money, but he’s not a guy who could come and cut a line and fight for the belt. I think it would be too brazen, disrespectful to everyone“, he stated.
In an interview for “Combate”, Rafael dos Anjos followed his explanation for wanting to face Charles do Bronx in case of victory in the UFC: “I think, being a former champion, coming off three wins after my return to lightweight, it puts me in front of goal. All the guys in front of me come from a defeat to the champion or another guy, except Michael Chandler and Islam (Makhachev)“.
Chandler fought for the belt two fights ago, got knocked out, actually lost to Charles and Gaethje and beat Tony Ferguson now. I think (the win) puts me in front of the goal. There are three victories, I’m a former champion, 14 years in the event, I’ve fought for the belt in two categories, I don’t see why not“, followed.
“The belt is vacant, Charles won well from Gaethje. All this balance confusion I didn’t follow well, I was traveling to a place that didn’t even have internet. I’m not a guy who comes back later to look for it, I’m not really into this whole mess. But he lost there by 200g, the belt was vacant, but he went there and submitted it. The belt is not his now, but in his head and I think he is the champion of everyone“, finished.
