Former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael Dos Anjos hasn’t competed since UFC Fight Night 182 in November of 2020 and it could be a little while before he competes again.
That is because the fighter has undergone surgery for a sports hernia according to Sherdog, which RDA’s doctor in Dr. Rickson Moraes says the former champion needed for quite some time now.
"RDA was feeling that acute pain for last 11 months. But the scenario got worse five months ago, three months before the fight with [Paul] Felder, when he was running stairs. He was able to fight but the pain worsened, and after a series of exams in U.S., he came to me in Brazil and I referred him to these two specialists who work with me,” Moraes said to OSS.
The former champion is expected to be out of action for three months, so it is possible that RDA could be fighting by the Summer of 2021.
