Surging lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev is not interested in seeing a rematch between Rafael Dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson.<\/p>\n

The UFC’s former lightweight champion, Dos Anjos (31-13 MMA), who has not competed since November of 2020, recently called out his former opponent in Ferguson on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“@TonyFergusonXT <\/a><\/span>do you have plans for February 19? I gave @ufc <\/a><\/span>green light on my end.”<\/em> – ‘RDA’ wrote to ‘El Cucuy’.<\/p>\n

Tony Ferguson, a former interim<\/a> lightweight champion, appeared to be open to the idea of having a rematch with Rafael Dos Anjos, responding with the following.<\/p>\n

“Ahhh Hahhhhhh A Fellow Chucka\u2019 Let Me Check With My Secretary. <\/span>Please <\/span><\/em>Hold….. laaaa daaaa dahhhhhh…. dahhh daaa dahhhhh. Duuuuu duuuuuuuuuuuuuuu doooooooooo”<\/em> – Ferguson replied.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Ferguson (25-6 MMA) and Rafael Dos Anjos originally collided in November of 2016, with ‘El Cucuy’ emerging victorious by way of unanimous decision in a bout that was given ‘Fight of the Night’ honors.<\/p>\n

The timing for a ‘Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson’ does make some sense. ‘RDA’ won his most recent contest over Paul Felder by split-decision, but dropped back-to-back decisions to Leon Edwards and Michael Chiesa in his previous efforts.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tony Ferguson is currently on a three-fight losing skid, his latest being a lopsided loss to Beneil Dariush.<\/p>\n

One person not interested in seeing ‘Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson 2’ is fellow lightweight fighter Rafael Fiziev (11-1 MMA). ‘Ataman’ recently took to social media where he attempted to persuade the Brazilian legend into accepting a fight with the following tweets.<\/p>\n

We all saw that fight and I already replied to ufc that I\u2019m available for that day https:\/\/t.co\/s8KgReBJMd<\/a><\/p>\n
