“He got hit a lot. He took a lot of damage in that fight, so it’s been a year. Every time he was southpaw, he got hit a lot. It might be hard [for him] coming off two losses and one year without fighting but I can’t wait for Saturday,” Dos Anjos said. “We both walk forward, and we are not afraid to trade. I don’t feel this fight going five rounds it’s going to finish before. I look forward to getting that finish before the fifth.”

Getting a big finish would launch Dos Anjos right back into the mix in the welterweight division. There are some fresh faces in the top ten that he would love to test himself against, and unless some big money fight came his way at lightweight, Dos Anjos is locked in on making the climb up the welterweight ladder.
“I think, as of now, I will stay at welterweigh; I feel more comfortable at that weight, unless it’s a super fight where I will make a good amount of money and it’s worth it, I will drop,” Dos Anjos said. “But welterweight is my home right now.”
