A UFC lightweight bout between former champion Rafael dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson has been booked for Nov. 5 in Mexico City, according to sources.The 155-pound bout will headline the finale of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America at Mexico City Arena. UFC officials have not yet officially confirmed the matchup.Dos Anjos (25-8) is coming off a shocking first-round knockout loss to Eddie Alvarez on July 7.
