Rafael dos Anjos hopes he and Colby Covington can run things back soon.<\/p>\n

At UFC 225 the two were the co-main event and were fighting for the interim welterweight title. It was a back-and-forth fight\u00a0but Covington ultimately edged out a decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For dos Anjos, given he fought both Kamaru Usman and “Chaos” he figured “The Nigerian Nightmare would get it done at UFC 245 which is what happened<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I thought Usman was going to win. But I also thought they were going to try to knock each other down. They respected each other a lot in the falls. It was a good, very good fight,” Rafael dos Anjos said to AG Fight<\/a>. “I had Usman as my favorite, I thought he would win.”<\/p>\n

Now that Colby Covington has lost, Rafael dos Anjos believes a rematch between the two makes sense. That is if Chaos doesn’t retire from the sport after suffering a broken jaw like Jorge Masvidal suspects he will<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian has also suffered a broken jaw so he knows what Covington is going through and says he wouldn’t wish that against his worst enemy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely [a rematch against Colby matters for 2020[. I’ve had this injury too, I don’t know the severity, but you have to have a lot of head to come back. I hope he really fights back, doesn’t retire, because it’s an injury I’ve seen retire people out there,” he explained. “It’s something I don’t even want for my worst enemy.\u00a0But let’s see.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s six months to go back to training, I remember how I got.\u00a0Six months is just to retrain.\u00a0It took me about ten months to fight again, a year almost to fight again.\u00a0But it sure is a fight that interests me. It was [in the fight against Clay Guida that I got hurt]. It was terrible, worse thing, I don’t wish for my worst enemy,” the Brazilian concluded.<\/p>\n

First up for Rafael dos Anjos is a scrap against the surging welterweight, Michael Chiesa at UFC Raleigh<\/a>. After that, he hopes he can rematch Colby Covington once he is healthy again.<\/p>\n
