Rafael dos Anjos has gone from losing his UFC lightweight title, to being a fight away a shot at the welterweight strap in a little over a year. He’ll fight Robbie Lawler in Winnipeg<\/a> to determine who’s the next number one contender to challenge Tyron Woodley. It has Fight of the Night potential all over it and definitely could go down as a classic scrap, but they’ll be no heated build-up or public insults. The way Rafael dos Anjos thinks, we shouldn’t really need that. They’ll say all they need to each other inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to fight and get the best fight for me.\u00a0<\/span>The best guys are ahead of me and this new generation, they try to talk crap and attack others on social media.\u00a0I\u2019m glad to have this fight with Robbie [Lawler] because there\u2019s no trash talk. It\u2019s a man\u2019s fight and that\u2019s how I like to do it. We show our talk in the Octagon when we get locked in the cage, we talk with our fists.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
