UFC No. 9 lightweight Rafael dos Anjos said he would return to the promotion's lightweight division only for a couple of opponents.
I want to be very clear about possibilities of me fighting at 155. There’s only scenario that I would go back to 155. 1: fight for the tit🌃le (Isl𒈔am) 2:Fight Conor. Other than that don’t even waste your time calling me out or tagging me.
