Rafael dos Anjos Gets Another Shot In The UFC

You may remember me doing a poll asking if Rafael dos Anjos deserved another fight in the UFC after losing a decision to Tyson Griffin at UFC 18.  Well 75% of you guys(and myself) voted that he deserved one more shot at it, and by golly he's going to get it according to Rafael himself speaking to Tatame:

"The fight was good, the best of the night. The guys (of the UFC) liked it, thanks God".  I don’t do this position at my training, because everybody already knows, but always when the guy gives me a chance I'll reach it and locks it. He turned to the side I wanted and the position was fit, I was able to put him in trouble", remembers Raphael, investing the extra bonus in trainings, with an eye in his next fight in the Ultimate. "They liked the fight and I have one more in the contract, but I don’t know when it will be”

MMA4Real reader(3PA) suggested that they give him Junie Browning with the loser of that fight being released from the company.  I thought that was a pretty good suggestion.  This guy has skills and is a handful for a lot of fighters.  Who would you like to see him matched up against next?

Make it happen I say!

I don’t know, but I after two outings where he lost I’m still looking forward to seeing Dos Anjos inside the octagon.

Bloody hell.
