Rafael Dos Anjos, the former UFC lightweight champion, explained why he agreed to fight Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 299.
“I like this challenge. Last time, Gamrot made weight to secure a title fight, which means he was one step away from winning the belt. A win over him will bring me that much closer to a title shot. Especially considering that I already have a history with Islam, several of our fights fell through. A victory over Gamrot is a great chance to get a fight with Makhachev,” the fighter said.
Let us remind you that the 299th UFC tournament will take place on the night of March 10.
