Even opponent Clay Guida had heard the rumors.
In fact, after hearing of Rafael dos Anjos’ illness and fearing their UFC 117 bout might be scratched, Guida recently Tweeted a simple message, “Say it aint so Rafael!! Say it aint so!”
Luckily for both lightweight fighters, dos Anjos’ undisclosed illness was a minor one, and a source close to the fighter told MMAjunkie.com the fight is still good to go for the Aug. 7 card.
