Rafael Dos Anjos fights Nate Diaz this weekend at the UFC on FOX 13. Diaz is one of the divisions top fighters, but Dos Anjos believes he has an advantage everywhere:

While dos Anjos definitely respects Diaz he also expects him to come in with the same strategy he does in most of his fights — step forward with constant pressure and look to land a huge volume of strikes. 

Dos Anjos welcomes it.

“He’s a dangerous fighter and he’s got a long reach so I have to stay out of his reach. I can’t play that game. The fight will be good because he comes forward and that will be good,” dos Anjos said. “My Muay Thai skills will make the difference. I think I have more weapons than him. My wrestling is better. My jiu-jitsu is better. My Muay Thai is better as well.”
