What happened: Dos Anjos said a doctor in Brazil tried to stitch his meniscus after the October 2024 bout, a decision he characterized as a mistake. The injury ended that fight by TKO after 90 seconds.
Why it matters: The recovery produced a two-year layoff before his booked UFC 332 return. The Oct. 3 bout will mark his 50th professional appearance.
By the numbers: Dos Anjos enters the return at 32-17 overall and 21-15 in the UFC. His October 2024 defeat was his third straight loss and fourth in five fights.
What to watch: His next scheduled test comes at UFC 332 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
