Dos Anjos is confident of defeating Makhachev

Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos shared his expectations for his upcoming clash with Islam Makhachev.

"I'll show you that I'm alive as an athlete, that I'm still in the game. I have full confidence that I will defeat Makhachev. When you have guys like Khabib Nurmagomedov sitting in the corner and Daniel Cormier talking about Islam all the time, it creates even more hype. I'll give Benail Dariusz as an example - he's beaten the same guys as Makhachev, very confident and convincing. But no one talks about him. Makhachev, on the other hand, defeated Tiago Moises and became the fifth in the rating".
