Earlier this week it really seemed like a great fight between Tyron Woodley and Nate Diaz was getting close to being finalized.
UFC President Dana White killed those hopes though, stating, “He’s full of shit. That fight was never made. You couldn’t be more wrong, He couldn’t be more full of shit. It’s absolutely not true. It’s so not true that our lawyer actually hit him up today — hit his manager up, and said, ‘He needs to stop saying these kind of things,’ because it’s absolutely not true.
“I wouldn’t bet a nickel on it, let alone his house. … Dos Anjos is the fight we’re looking at for Woodley. That’s the fight, a fair fight, he just won a great fight against Robbie Lawler. And what I love about that fight is that I think Dos Anjos will bring it. He’ll come after Tyron Woodley, and it’ll be a great fight.
Now, the man of the hour, Rafael dos Anjos has shared his reaction to news that he’s up next.
