The original plan for UFC 225 was to have two title fights atop the stacked night of fights. Unfortunately, one ended up not being over a championship but the other went along as planned.<\/p>\n

In UFC 225’s co-main event this past Saturday, former UFC lightweight champion, Rafael Dos Anjos took on Colby Covington in search of his fourth straight win at 170 pounds and an interim title to boot.<\/p>\n

Being the betting favorite for pretty much the entirety of the time leading up to the fight until fight night itself, Dos Anjos had become the underdog and as the fight began it showed.<\/p>\n

Covington applied a relentless and smothering pace that caught most viewers off guard. There were very few times where the outspoken American wasn’t pushing forward applying pressure.<\/p>\n

In the end, Covington would win by unanimous decision to be crowned the new interim champion. Dos Anjos shared his first thoughts on Instagram today since the loss.<\/p>\n
