Rafael dos Anjos shined in his return to the welterweight division on Saturday with a one-sided performance over Bryan Barberena in the UFC on ESPN 42 co-headliner. After admitting his pursuit to regain the UFC lightweight title was over, the former champion dos Anjos (32-14 MMA, 21-12 UFC) moved back up a weight class for what seems like the final run of his career. He got things off to a good start, halting Barberena’s momentum by submission at the 3:20 mark of Round 2.
