Dos Anjos (28-11), a 34-year-old Brazilian fighting out of Huntington Breach, California, has lost two in a row — to the man who now wears the 170-pound belt and to the division’s onetime interim champion. The Las Vegas-based Lee (17-4), 26, is making his move up in weight after dropping two of his last three.
Also on the card: Vicente Luque, winner of four straight, gets a tough welterweight matchup with Neil Magny, and a rising star at women’s bantamweight, Aspen Ladd, will try to stay unbeaten when she takes on Sijara Eubanks.
