Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos is busy plotting an assault on the promotion’s welterweight division, and while he awaits his first assignment at 170 pounds, he’s polishing up his hands at legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach’s famed Wild Card Boxing Club. Rafael dos Anjos and Freddie Roach “I am taking this time to sharpen my skills and improve even more as a fighter,” dos Anjos stated. “Life is hard; you have to learn every day. If you don’t improve, your opponents will. So I am doing my part to be ahead of the game.” Dos Anjos (25-9 MMA, 14-7 UFC), currently ranked No. 5 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings , had a forgettable 2016, ceding the UFC lightweight title to Eddie Alvarez at July’s UFC Fight Night 90 event and then suffering a decision loss to current top contender Tony Ferguson at November’s UFC Fight Night 98.
