Photos from UFC 112

Here are some photos from UFC 112 of Rafael dos Anjos from Evolve Mixed Martial Arts.  Photos are owned by ESPN and taken by legendary MMA photographer Martin McNeil.

For UFC 112, Dos Anjos trained in Singapore for the biggest fight of his career under Professor Gordinho Correa, Kru Chatri Sityodtong, and Kru Toy Sityodtong.  Other teammates on the Evolve Fight Team such as BJJ World Champions Leandro Issa and Zoro Moreira were also instrumental in getting Dos Anjos ready for success.  With his victory over rising UFC star Terry Etim, Rafael dos Anjos is now poised to enter the upper echelons of his division and potentially contend for the World Championship title in the future if he continues to win.
