Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos appears to be in tremendous shape ahead of a return to 155lbs against Islam Makhachev.<\/p>\n

As first reported by BJPenn.com’s Chris Taylor<\/a>, RDA will move back down to lightweight and he will meet a rising top-15 contender in the form of Makhachev. The two will battle it out on the undercard of UFC 254: Nurmagomedov vs. Gaethje, which is set to take place on October 24. The event will likely take place on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Ahead of his return to the lightweight division, RDA posted a video of himself shadow boxing and looking in tremendous shape. Check it out via his Instagram<\/a> below.<\/p>\n
