UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos vs Fiziev UK start time, TV channel, live stream, and odds
RAFAEL DOS ANJOS and Rafael Fiziev square off this weekend in the United States. Here's everything you need to know about the lightweight clash.
Brazilian MMA legend Rafael Dos Anjos takes on fast-rising Azerbaijani contender Rafael Fiziev at UFC Vegas 58 this weekend. The winner of the contest takes one step closer to a world title shot in a lightweight division that is currently without a champion after former title holder Charles Oliveira was stripped for missing weight in May.
Dos Anjos, 37, is back on course for a second run at the lightweight crown having held the strap between 2015 and 2016. After a stint at welterweight ‘RDA’ returned to the 155lb division in 2020 with back-to-back victories over Paul Felder and Renato Moicano. Those wins secured him a No 7 rank in the lightweight division and placed him back into championship contention.
Fiziev, 29, is on a five-fight winning streak inside the UFC Octagon and is currently ranked No 10 in the weight class. ‘Ataman’ lost his promotional debut to Magomed Mustafaev in 2019 but has been an absolute tear ever since. Wins over Alex White, Marc Diakiese, Renato Moicano, Bobby Green, and Brad Riddell have led to the match-up with Dos Anjos who serves as Fiziev’s toughest test to date.

The event will take place on Saturday 9 July at the UFC Apex facility in Enterprise, Nevada.
