Neal predicted Rafael Dos Anjos would try to make the fight “dirty” with wrestling and clinch work. But he was confident in his skills. He believed he could touch him enough times to secure a late TKO. He did eventually get a TKO, but it was neither late nor due to constant punches, as ‘RDA’s’ knee just gave out.
