Rafael dos Anjos Hopes For His Title Shot Following UFC on FOX 26 Win

December 17, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Rafael dos Anjos spoke following his win over Robbie Lawler at UFC on FOX 26 about a title shot and more. Highlights are below, per MMAjunkie:

On a title shot following his win: “I’m not a guy that talks so much to try and get a title shot, because I’m talking bad about people, cursing people. I just go and do a great performance like I did tonight. I hope so. Dana White said that (the winner would get a title shot), and that’s what I hope.”

On when the fight might take place: “I’ve been in fight camp for the last six months. I need some time off, too, to go home and get better and have a little longer camp to prepare for a title fight.”

On being a threat to Woodley: “I think when (Woodley) fought Demian (Maia), he was worried about takedowns only. When he fought (Stephen) ‘Wonderboy’ (Thompson), he was worried only about stand-up. I think with me, he’s got to worry about everywhere. He’s going to have a lot of things to worry about.”

On Colby Covington taking a shot at him for not finishing Lawler: “I have no comments about that guy, man. That guy has 6,000 followers on Twitter. He’s just talking crap about people. He showed nothing to the division. He’s beat nobody. He beat Demian Maia, but he looked really bad when he fought Demian, and I have no comments on that guy.”
