As for Dos Anjos, the former lightweight champion successfully made his welterweight debut last month with a decision win over Tarec Saffiedine, which has resulted in him being installed at No.10 in the divisional rankings.
At this stage the UFC 215 fight card is still in the process of being formed and so an official bout order isn’t known yet, but Magny Vs Dos Anjos is sure to land a spot on the pay-per-view portion of the card, which will be headlined by Demetrious Johnson’s latest flyweight title defense against Ray Borg, with women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes fighting Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main event slot.
