There will be no Mixed Martial Arts fan, who has never heard of Rafael Dos Anjos, one of the most feared people among the current fighting plants. Born and raised in Brazil, hewas always a difficult child, fighting in schools and on the streets. Somehow, discipline in his life was kept to a certain extent when he enrolled in a martial arts class, studying Jiu Jutsu. He has won several competitions for Jiu Jutsu and eventually won the Black Belt, a limited number of honors. He participated in regional MMA competitions and Brazilian competitions, and did well enough to anticipate a call from the UFC, the last of all MMA artists in the world, and certainly, got his first chance at UFC 91 in 2008. Losing his first two fights made him fear for his future with the UFC but he returned in September 2009 to the third battle of his career with a victory and has never looked back since. He devised a way to deal with any rival honestly and ended up with titles such as the UFC Lightweight Championship, Fight of the Night, Nightmare and Night performance.
