(Las Vegas Review-Journal)

UFC lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos thinks he has “less mileage” than Alvarez does, which he thinks will play to his advantage when they battle.

As he heads into his 20th UFC fight, Rafael dos Anjos believes his challenger Eddie Alvarez is just as experienced as he is. However, he thinks that Alvarez may have taxed his body to the brink in his previous bouts.

Dos Anjos is putting the lightweight belt on the line for the second time at UFC Fight Night 90 on July 7th.
