It’s fair to say Rafael dos Anjos is on the back end of his fighting career.
The 37-year-old Brazilian is a former UFC lightweight champion who has been in the promotion for nearly 14 years and is approaching two decades as a pro fighter. His resume is littered with Hall of Fame-worthy names.
Recently, he said he thinks he’s reached the point in his career at which he just wants to take fun fights against fellow longtime fighters. He had one in 2020 against Paul Felder; their Fight of the Night came in dos Anjos’ return to lightweight after several years at 170 pounds.
