Rafael dos Anjos solidified his position in the welterweight division earlier tonight (Sat., Dec. 16, 2017) at UFC on FOX 26 from inside Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, when he stalked down former 170-pound king Robbie Lawler and earned a lopsided unanimous decision win.
With this result, Rafael dos Anjos moves to 3-0 in the perilous UFC welterweight division, having defeated Tarec Saffiedine, Neil Magny and now, Lawler. He’s now 28-9 overall, and could well be the next challenger for UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley.
Lawler meanwhile is now 28-12 overall. He returns to the loss column after a close July win over Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
