On a conference call ahead of UFC Fight Night 90 in Las Vegas, UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos said he “has more weapons” than Eddie Alvarez does. Coming into his second title defense, the Brazilian champ owns a five-fight win streak.

Eddie Alvarez is no stranger to title bouts. A 13-year veteran of the fight game, Alvarez held multiple titles in various organizations prior to coming to the UFC. On July 7, he’ll confront dos Anjos for the belt at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
