Rafael Dos Anjos wants to redeem himself after his surprising loss to Eddie Alvarez. Fighting after such a defeat, one where Dos Anjos was considered to be the favorite, can be psychologically devastating.
It should therefore come as no surprise that he is training like a beast for his next fight against Tony Ferguson on November 5. RDA has been spotted training with BJJ greats Edwin Najmi and Romulo Barral. One thing is for sure: after training with these legends, dos Anjos – who already trains under one of the biggest names in BJJ, Roberto “Gordo” Correa – will have a killer ground game.
Dos Anjos already has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu yet he is primarily known for his striking. He has a potent stand up game, utilizing punches that have raw knockout power interspersed with brutal leg kicks that can slow down most of his opponents. His ground-and-pound game is respected by mixed martial arts professionals all over the world.
