Former Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder Rafael dos Anjos has settled into life at 170 pounds, though his next assignment is fraught with danger.
Dos Anjos on Saturday will lock horns with Robbie Lawler in the UFC on Fox 26 main event at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the winner can move into position to challenge Tyron Woodley for the undisputed welterweight championship. Meanwhile, perennial featherweight contender Ricardo Lamas tackles Team Alpha Male’s Josh Emmett in the three-round co-headliner at 145 pounds.
