UFC lightweight rising contender Rafael Fiziev will take on veteran and former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos this Saturday.
The company tried to make this fight happen earlier this year. They were scheduled to fight at UFC 272 on Mar. 5. However, Fiziev tested positive for Covid-19, and the UFC was forced to cancel the fight.
dos Anjos is looking to get back into contention for the UFC lightweight championship. After losing his title to Eddie Alvarez at UFC Fight Night 90 on Jul. 7, 2016, and a fight to Tony Ferguson at UFC Fight Night 98 on Nov. 5, 2016, dos Anjos moved to welterweight.
The former champion found success and worked his way to fight for the UFC interim welterweight championship against Colby Covington at UFC 225 on Jun. 9, 2018. However, dos Anjos was unsuccessful and struggled to contend for the welterweight championship afterward.
He returned to lightweight at UFC on ESPN+ 41 on Nov. 14, 2020, to defeat Paul Felder. Ranked 7th in the division, a win over Fiziev could help dos Anjos fight someone in the top five.
Fiziev is looking to continue his five-fight win streak. His last win was against Brad Riddell by knockout at UFC Vegas 44 on Dec. 4, 2021. The success also helped Fiziev get ranked 10th in the division and earn a fight against dos Anjos. If Fiziev defeats dos Anjos this Saturday, he could be one or two fights away from contending for the lightweight championship.
