Former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos will face standout Leon Edwards at UFC on ESPN 4. According to Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole, dos Anjos (28-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC) and Edwards (33-13 MMA, 10-6 UFC) will headline the July 20 event at AT&T Center in San Antonio. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the news to MMA Junkie. The booking comes in the nick of time, with just over one month until the ESPN-televised event. The promotion reportedly considered moving a UFC 239 matchup between Luke Rockhold and Jan Blachowicz. According to Iole, a modeling job for Rockhold with Ralph Lauren nixed the possibility of pushing back the matchup.
