The Brazilian also suffered a submission loss to <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighters\/clay-guida\/\">Clay Guida<\/a> at UFC 117 in 2010 and like Miller &#8211; both are legends and would be a fight many fans would love to see.<\/p>\n<p>Rafael dos Anjos (31-14), as mentioned, is coming off the KO loss to Fiziev and beat Moicano and Felder before that.

In his career, he has fought the best of the best like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, Robbie Lawler, Benson Henderson, Anthony Pettis, and countless others.<\/p>\n<p>Who would you like to see Rafael dos Anjos fight next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rafael dos Anjos has four names in mind for his next fight.
