DALLAS – Rafael Alves thinks he’s the best Rafael in the UFC. Rafael Fiziev knocked out former lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of UFC on ESPN 39 earlier this month in what he dubbed the battle of Rafaels , but Alves (20-10 MMA, 1-1 UFC) wants in the mix. He faces Drew Dober (24-11 MMA, 10-7 UFC) on Saturday at UFC 277, which takes place at American Airlines Center. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC/ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+
