Many don’t realize Anjos has been in UFC since 2008 and lost his first two fights against Jeremy Stephens and Tyson Griffin. He lost only three of his next 17 fights until 2015, one of those losses coming against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

After his loss to Khabib in 2014, Anjos went on a 5-fight win streak and won the Lightweight Championship from Anthony Pettis at UFC 185 during this period. He defended his title once against Donald Cerrone before losing it to Eddie Alvarez at Fight Night 90 in a first-round TKO finish.

Anjos has wins against Benson Henderson, Nate Diaz, Evan Dunham, Cerrone and Pettis in the Lightweight division and is currently aspiring to become a multi-divisional champion.
