UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos may be on the sidelines longer than expected.

The champ injured his MCL during his win over Anthony Pettis and according to Fox Sports 1 analyst, Dos Anjos is looking for a December return.

“Rafael Dos Anjos hasn’t been cleared to train yet and he’s hoping to return from his torn MCL in December.”

That’s quite a ways away, do you think Donal Cerrone is willing to wait that long for his title shot? He did say he wouldn’t mind having a few extra Sunday Fundays.
