In one of his finest performances yet, Rafael dos Anjos earned a clean sweep of the judges’ scorecards against an always dangerous Robbie Lawler.
Over the course of five rounds, dos Anjos (28-9 MMA, 17-7 UFC) outworked a wilting and obviously injured (yet still game) Lawler (28-12 MMA, 13-6 UFC), taking the fight 50-45 on all three cards and potentially setting up a title shot with current champ Tyron Woodley.
The welterweight bout was the featured attraction of today’s UFC on FOX 26 event at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It aired on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
