Rafael dos Anjos DALLAS – In a major upset, Brazilian lightweight Rafael dos Anjos delivered a one-sided drubbing of Anthony Pettis , taking the American’s belt with a unanimous decision. Over five rounds, dos Anjos (24-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC) kept Pettis (18-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) on his heels and refused to let him in the fight, outclassing the champ in striking and grappling to earn a shutout on judges’ scorecards with 50-45 tallies. “Man, it’s such an amazing blessing, when you came in to a fight and knew you were going to win,” dos Anjos, the UFC’s first Brazilian lightweight champion, said afterward in English. “I knew I was going to win before this fight was going to happen.” The lightweight title bout was the main event of today’s UFC 185 event at American Airlines Center in Dallas
