Rafael dos Anjos return at UFC 332

Overview

Former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos returned to professional competition at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, Utah, following a nearly two-year absence caused by knee injuries and surgeries. This bout against Alexander Hernandez marked the 42-year-old Brazilian’s 50th professional fight.

During the match, dos Anjos struggled with timing in the early stages. Hernandez secured a second-round victory via knockout after scoring a knockdown with a jab and finishing the fight with a cross. Following the defeat, which marked dos Anjos’s fourth consecutive loss, he briefly appeared to signal retirement by removing his gloves, though he did not make an official announcement regarding his departure from the sport.
