Rafael dos Anjos has given his thoughts on the recent photos circulating of Conor McGregor’s new physique.<\/p>\n

Last night, Rafael dos Anjos made a real statement. The 38-year-old beat Bryan Barberena<\/a> and did so in decisive fashion with a lovely submission victory. It got him back on the winning trail and, in many ways, reminded us of why he’s such a legend.<\/p>\n

He’s fought the best of the best over the years but one man he’s never tussled with is Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

It’s not through a lack of trying, either. The two have been scheduled to fight before at UFC 196, only for RDA to pull out through injury.<\/p>\n

Now, with McGregor supposedly returning next year, dos Anjos has made it clear<\/a> that he wants a piece of the action.<\/p>\n

During the post-fight press conference, the Brazilian sensation went into more detail about the possible bout.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/mmafighting\/status\/1599295961783992320<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at my resume, I\u2019ve fought everybody. I think I\u2019ve earned this fight. I will not ask UFC for extra crazy paydays, I just wanna have that fight. July works perfect for me, we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s out of USADA. Why is he out of the pool? It looks like, his body looks so different. I\u2019ve given him some time to get clear.<\/p>\n

Will McGregor fight dos Anjos?<\/h3>\n

\u201cYeah definitely [fight him at welterweight]. I will stay at 170.\u201d<\/p>\n

There’s a good chance this fight will actually happen. Jorge Masvidal is another frontrunner for McGregor’s return but in the instance of dos Anjos, this is a fight he really does deserve.<\/p>\n

He’s worked hard, stayed consistent, and he’d be a worthy adversary in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n

Will we see Conor McGregor fight Rafael dos Anjos? If not, who will he face if he does return to the Octagon? Let us know in the comments, BJPENN Nation!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
