In his last octagon appearance, Rafael Dos Anjos lost to Rafael Fiziev via knockout in the fifth round. Thus, the former champion walked away from the possibility of fighting for the lightweight title. After taking some time and planning the next steps of his career, the Brazilian decided to move up a division.
In his journey at welterweight, Rafael became a contender for the interim championship. However, Dos Anjos lost that opportunity against Colby Covington, who defeated him by unanimous decision, after being dominated most of the match. The Brazilian was never again able to get close to the elite of the category.
