He suffered his last loss last year when he faced Khabib Nurmagomedov (=dos Anjos vs Nurmagomedov), then he has won four bouts winning the Ufc Lw belt in his last fight, against Anthony Pettis (=Pettis vs dos Anjos).

No way Jose!!!!. You cannot do it with this kid.May be time to think in retirement?
jose who? aldo?!?!? do you think Jose Aldo want to fight in the lightweight division? I do is n’t think so!! McGregor want to fight in the lightweight but i think Rafael dos Anjos is too much for him….The only guy who can beat dos anjos at the moment is Khabib Nurmagomedov that has already beat him easily….
