Rafael dos Anjos says he'd beat McGregor and Diaz in the same night

Lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos is not happy with the reported main event of UFC 200, a rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.

The Brazilian called out both fighters on Twitter shortly after the announcement was made.

@UFCONFOX Mcgregor vs Diaz 2 make no sense, I would beat theses 2 guys on the same night

Dos Anjos was scheduled to fight McGregor at UFC 196 before dropping out of the bout due to a broken foot. Before that, however, dos Anjos had won his previous five fights, including a three-round beatdown of Diaz at UFC Fight Night in Phoenix.

RDA has made it known that he asked the UFC for Diaz or welterweight champion Robbie Lawler but was told the UFC had different plans for him.

So if dos Anjos does get booked at UFC 200, he'll likely be fighting under a matchup between a guy he was supposed to fight and a guy he's already soundly beaten.
