Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos returns to the 155-pound division for a fight with the sixth number in the official rankings Mateusz Gamrot, multiple sources report.
The fight will take place on March 9 at UFC 299. The event is expected to take place in Miami, but the promotion has not yet confirmed the location.
Despite the fact that dos Anjos has not competed in the lightweight division since July 2022, he continues to be ranked 11th. The Brazilian veteran spent his last two fights in the welterweight category: first he defeated Brian Barberena ahead of schedule, and then lost on points in a five-round fight to Vicente Luque.
As for Gamrot, he was on a four-fight winning streak before losing to Beneil Dariush last October. After that, the Pole successively defeated Jalin Turner by split decision and Rafael Fiziev by technical knockout (injury to the opponent).
Let us remind you that the UFC 299 show will be headlined by the bantamweight title fight between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera.
