Cordeiro: It’s not everyday someone dominates Pettis like that
Rafael Cordeiro: “Rafael fought the champion and also as a champion. He was dominant like a champion, and it certainly was the best performance of his life.”
At UFC 185, Rafael Cordeiro pupil Rafael Dos Anjos put on a spectacular performance, dominating champion Anthony Pettis to win the UFC title. Cordeiro commented on Dos Anjos’ win and how well he executed their strategy:
“Rafael is a great athlete, I love to work with him,” Cordeiro told Combate. “We’ve been going strong together for the past 10 years. Most of my fighters enter fights as underdogs, but we use that as motivation. We knew how to beat Pettis in every aspect of the game, and everything we practiced led us to this victory. Rafael fought the champion and also as a champion. He was dominant like a champion, and it certainly was the best performance of his life. It’s not everyday someone dominates Pettis like that.”
