The former UFC lightweight champion turned the welterweight competitor Rafael dos Anjos was desperate for a win.
After being defeated by former interim champion Colby Covington and current champion Kamaru Usman, the Brazilian's mission was to prove that he was still among the best at 170 pounds. But in front of him inside the Octagon at UFC Rochester was Kevin Lee, another former lightweight who was looking for a new life in welterweight.
While Back Anjos and Lee went to war for nearly four rounds, veteran back Anjos shone a thousand lights when he locked a deep arm triangle, forcing Lee to press.
Check out below the reaction to Anjos' back win, as well as the best of the rest thanks to an action packed card that sits inside the Blue Cross Arena.
Rafael dos Anjos def. Kevin Lee
Lee still young enough. Has done good things but has beaten at an exhausting pace for anyone and it cost him. RDA returns in the winning column with a big finish and shows that he is still in the elite circle. This circle is full of killers at 155 or 170 pounds# UFCRochester

A good fight that missed the fight broke it more than the arm triangle did it.

Wow, the fight seemed grueling, Lee seemed to have collapsed after the failure of takedown and RDA took full advantage. Great victory

Kevin Lee is a tough fighter … for only 1.5 rounds

Krantz blew his load early and Vincent was very calm. Nice fight.

Ramos rolled his ankle badly in the second. If Hubbard competed for the calves in this third round, it would radically change the deal …. buuuut
