Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-09-09, pretty good finish between Rafael dos Anjos and Neil Magny but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two (UFC Performance of the Night).The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and former Ufc Lw champion Rafael dos Anjos entered this fight with a mma record of 26-9-0 (50% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.6 welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Tyron Woodley). He lost two consecutive fights in 2016, against Eddie Alvarez (=dos Anjos vs Alvarez) and Tony Ferguson (=dos Anjos vs Ferguson), but he came back to win in 2017 against Tarec Saffiedine (=dos Anjos vs Saffiedine).
