Former UFC champion Rafael dos Anjos came up short in another big spot Saturday when he lost to Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC on ESPN 4.

After bouncing back from a two-fight skid just a few months ago, dos Anjos (29-12 MMA, 18-10 UFC) was looking to return to title contention against surging British welterweight Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC). It didn’t work out for him, though, as the result was a unanimous-decision loss.

Although dos Anjos fought valiantly over 25 minutes at AT&T Center in San Antonio, the reality is he now has three losses in his past four fights – albeit against the absolute best 170 pounds has to offer.

What does the loss mean for dos Anjos? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future.
