Rafael dos Anjos to Battle Leon Edwards Next

Rafael dos Anjos

By FCF Staff

It looks like Rafael dos Anjos is going to face Leon Edwards next, after the latter claimed the former lightweight champ had turned down the bout.

Dos Anjos and Edwards are going to fight at the UFC’s July 20th card in San Antonio. Yahoo Sports’ Kevin Iole was the first to report the match-up, and recently dos Anjos tweeted out the response to Edwards below.

The 34-year-old dos Anjos (29-11) is coming off a submission win over Kevin Lee in May, and has gone 3-2 in his last 5 bouts.

The 27-year-old Edwards (17-3) earned a split decision win over Gunnar Nelson in his last bout, and has won 7 straight.
