The November UFC schedule is focused around a lightweight battle happening at UFC 205 on November 12 between Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez, but on November 5 there is another one you don’t want to miss.
No. 2-ranked contender, and former champion, Rafael Dos Anjos meets No. 3-ranked Tony Ferguson at UFC Fight Night 98 in Mexico City.
The main event will be Dos Anjos’ first trip back inside the Octagon since losing the belt to Alvarez in the summer. Ferguson hopes to extend his winning streak to nine and claim a title shot. The scheduled five-round battle will put the winner in the driver’s seat for an early 2017 tilt with whoever exits Madison Square Garden holding gold.
That begs the question: Who walks out of Mexico City in the lightweight division’s driver seat?
