Rafel dos Anjos has warned that he is 'a very bad matchup' for Conor McGregor.
The pair were due to face each other back in 2016 when dos Anjos was lightweight champion, but the Brazilian pulled out of the bout due to an injury.
He then went on to lose the belt to Eddie Alvarez, who McGregor defeated to become a two-weight champion on this day four years ago.
Dos Anjos is currently rated just one place behind the former two-weight champion in the UFC's lightweight division and would love to fight him this year.
He told MMA Junkie: "I believe when I fought Conor he was in the best moment of his career, and I was in the best moment of my career.
"I had the belt at the time, and I was feeling pretty confident at that time, and I was in great shape.
"I think I’m a very bad matchup for Conor. Especially for my style, my kicks and southpaw stance, my grappling skills, my wrestling skills. But that’s something that passed already.
"With the results of his last fights, I think our paths can cross again, but there’s so many options right now in that division."
