JAKARTA - Brazil's free fighter, Rafael Dos Anjos, challenged Conor McGregor to return to the octagon soon. He insisted he deserved the fight against McGregor at the UFC.
Dos Anjos challenged McGregor after beating Bryan Barberena with a lock in his last game, last weekend.
The Brazilian MMA star actually had the opportunity to meet McGregor seven years ago. Unfortunately, the fight was not realized because Dos Anjos had a leg injury.
After his win against Barberena, he returned to try to lure Notorious to fight.
"I am the person with the most flying hours in the Octagon. Seven years ago, I defended my title against Donald Cerrone in the same arena," Dos Anjos boasted.
"People like Usman, Francis Ngannou are on a prelim card, and here I still win the fight," he continued, as quoted by The Sun.
He added, "I think I have the right to call someone (out). I want to call Conor McGregor."
Seven years ago, said Dos Anjos, he had the opportunity to make the fight with McGregor by beating Donald Cerrone.
"He came to the division, we should have fought, my legs were broken (and the fight was canceled), but now here I am," said Dos Anjos.
This is not the first time McGregor has been challenged by Dos Anjos to get into the ring again. He also stated that he wanted to return to the octagon next year, but did not know who his opponent was.
