The history between Islam Makhachev and Rafael dos Anjos
Makhachev and ‘RDA’ were scheduled twice to fight against each other. First, the duo was booked at UFC 254, but after ‘RDA’ tested positive for Covid-19, he was forced to withdraw. Later, the UFC tried to re-book the fight at UFC Fight Night 182, but this time it was Makhachev who pulled out because of an injury.
After defeating Drew Dober at UFC 259 Makhachev called out the Brazilian, hoping to finish the unfinished business. Makhachev tweeted “Hey @RdosAnjosMMA if you don’t like all this hype around me, let’s finish our business in July @ufc.”

Both Nurmagomedov and ‘RDA’ had met each other back in 2014, where ‘The Eagle‘ dominated him throughout. With revenge on his mind, Rafael dos Anjos had planned this move. But after Nurmagomedov’s retirement, the rematch looked unreal. Therefore, the fight between ‘RDA’ and Islam Makhachev never came to fruition.
If Islam Makhachev wins, will he meet ‘RDA’ next?
