In the main event at UFC 185: Pettis vs. dos Anjos, UFC Lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (18-2 MMA; 5-1 UFC) defends his title against challenger Rafael dos Anjos (23-7 MMA; 12-5 UFC). This five round Lightweight fight caps off the five fight UFC 185 main card. The UFC Rankings have dos Anjos as the #1 contender for the belt, with champion Pettis at #5 on the Pound for Pound list.
Rafael dos Anjos is in many ways an extremely unlikely challenger. Consider this - he's been in the UFC for nearly 7 years, debuting on a card headlined by Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar. He started his UFC career going 4-4 and seemed destined for a role of Gleison Tibau-esque mid-level gatekeeper. Then in 2013, he started putting it all together, and he now holds wins over Donald Cerrone, Ben Henderson, and Nate Diaz - a great resume in arguably the UFC's deepest division.
