Rafael dos Anjos used the most significant stage of his career to turn in his best performance to date when he upset Anthony Pettis to win the UFC lightweight championship in the UFC 185 main event.
Dos Anjos (24-7 MMA, 13-5 UFC) shut down Pettis’ (18-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) flashy striking and slick submission game and took over with his own superior offensive assault. He overwhelmed “Showtime” over five rounds in a shocking performance to become the seventh champion in 155-pound history.
