Just two weeks after being showcased in the main event, the UFC's lightweight division will take center stage again as Rafael Dos Anjos meets Rafael Fiziev at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Dos Anjos, No. 7 in ESPN's lightweight rankings, is a former champion of the division and is looking to work his way back into title contention with a triumph over Fiziev. Dos Anjos enters on a two-fight win streak following decision victories over Renato Moicano and Paul Felder.
Fiziev, positioned right behind Dos Anjos in the ESPN divisional rankings, is riding a five-fight win streak, with two of the wins coming via finish. He will be taking on his toughest test to date when he enters the Octagon with the former champ.
ESPN's Brett Okamoto touched base with current UFC welterweight and Ultimate Fighter winner Michael Chiesa to get his analysis of how this matchup between two lightweight contenders could play out inside the Octagon. ESPN's betting experts Ian Parker and Reed Kuhn added their insights and analysis for everything from the main event to some intriguing bets they like lower on the card.
