ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Rafael dos Anjos went through a handful of possible fight options before he ultimately ended up fighting Kevin Lee in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 10. According to the former UFC champ dos Anjos (28-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC), one of those names was none other than Nick Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC). It’s a matchup he would have enjoyed, but given the unpredictable nature of Diaz – who hasn’t fought since January 2015 and is by all accounts retired – he wasn’t going to wait forever for. That’s when dos Anjos went with Lee (17-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC). “We talked about some other options,” dos Anjos told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at UFC on ESPN+ 10 open workouts.
