Former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos admits that hes unsure of his continued fighting future following UFC Vegas 58 last night in ‘Sin City’ – with the Brazilian veteran suffering a fifth round knockout loss to Rafael Fiziev in the pair’s headlining clash.
dos Anjos, who entered last night’s headliner against Fiziev in the midst of an impressive two-fight winning spree, suffered a fifth round knockout loss just 18 seconds into the final frame, finding himself on the receiving end of a massive left hand, which dropped him, before Fiziev rendered him unconscious courtesy of a heavy ground strike.
Prior to the loss, the Niteroi favorite had enjoyed a run of two consecutive decision victories against the now-retired, Paul Felder, as well as a five round judging success against common-opponent, Renato Moicano.
Following the defeat, dos Anjos admitted that his loss, whilst hasty was not necessarily a quick or early stoppage in his opinion.
“I don’t think so,” Rafael dos Anjos told assembled media in regards to an early stoppage. “I’ve got to rewatch the tape, but I don’t think so. He (Rafael Fiziev) won fair and square.”
“I’ve got to rewatch it, and I was kind of still dizzy, but yeah, it was a tough fight,” dos Anjos said. “Rafael was a tough opponent. I trained very hard for that fight, and I was really feeling I had my momentum, but that’s the game.”
Weighing up his next potential step inside the Octagon, dos Anjos insisted he would return to his family and decide what is next for him in the future.
“I fought four months ago,” Rafael dos Anjos said. “I fought (Renato) Moicano, now I fought Fiziev tonight and I’ve got to go back home and enjoy my family a little bit. I was away for 16 months and a long layoff with two knee injuries and a hernia, too.”
“Now, it’s time to go back home and enjoy my family a little bit and see what the future holds,” Rafael dos Anjos said. (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)
Clinching undisputed lightweight gold back in 2015, dos Anjos defeated Anthony Pettis in a dominant unanimous decision win, before successfully defending his crown in December of that year in a first round knockout win over Donald Cerrone in the pair’s rematch.

UFC Vegas 58 Performance Bonuses: Rafael Fiziev and Michael Johnson Among Winners
UFC Vegas certainly packed a punch with a world class lightweight showdown in the main event, paired with heavyweight knockouts and grizzled veterans engaging in caged warfare.
The so-called ‘battle of Rafaels’ pitted a gritty former champion against one of the divisions hottest prospects. After a closely competitive, hard fought four rounds it seemed that both men would hear the final bell. This was until Fiziev would land a left hand that would hurt dos Anjos, stunning and dropping the Brazilian. Fiziev would waste no time in pouncing on dos Anjos, landing two powerful blows before the referee would stop the fight. Fiziev, come next week will find a number seven next to his name.
Chase Sherman would produce an unexpected performance in his clash with Jared Vanderaa, knocking out Vanderaa in the third round. The fight would fight would be a classic heavyweight slugfest, with both men hammering away at one another until it was Sherman who would produce the decisive shot which was followed by a onslaught against the cage. In a fight which will most likely see the loser out of the UFC, Sherman would found a way. Earning him 50k and hopefully still with an employer.
Michael Johnson, yet again produced a fan friendly affair, this time with Australian Jamie Mullarkey as his dance partner. Johnson would drop Mullarkey in the first round of the fight only for Mullarkey to recover and hurt Johnson on the feet. Round two and three would follow suit, producing unmissable action. Mullarkey would win the favour of the judges but both men would go home an extra 50 grand richer.
