This is the UFC Vegas 58 live blog for Rafael dos Anjos vs. Rafael Fiziev, the lightweight main event on Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Dos Anjos, a former UFC lightweight champion, is on the hunt to re-capture a title at 155 pounds after a run in the welterweight division, where he went 6-4 and lost a bid for the interim belt against Colby Covington. Since returning to lightweight in November 2020, dos Anjos, the No. 7 ranked fighter in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, is 2-0 in the octagon.
Fiziev is the No. 10-ranked fighter, has been on a tear since a debut loss in 2019. The 29-year-old muay Thai specialist has racked up five straight wins, beating seasoned competitors such as Renato Moicano, Bobby Green, and, most recently, Brad Riddell.
