No. 7 ranked Rafael dos Anjos and No. 10 ranked Rafael Fiziev was scheduled to fight on February 19, but due to Fiziev’s visa issues, the bout was postponed to UFC 272. However, one week prior to UFC 272 Fiziev had to withdraw due to a positive COVID-19 test.

Now, we hope to finally see this interesting lightweight bout on July 9.

Former UFC lightweight champion RDA is on a two fight win streak after defeating Paul Felder and Renato Moicano. Fiziev is on a impressive five fight winning streak, including wins over Bobby Green and Brad Riddell.
