Rafael dos Anjos could be down on himself after a broken foot cost him a spot in the main event of one of 2016s biggest events and a chance to be the one to give Conor McGregor his first UFC loss.Instead, the UFC lightweight champion is rolling along, moving on to the next challenge: Thursdays title defense against?Eddie Alvarez?at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.My focus right now is on Eddie Alvarez, dos Anjos told ESPN.com. I just want to get back to the Octagon competing.Although theres no doubt dos Anjos missed out on a massive payday and potential star-making moment in March, the Brazilian made it seem that a megafight could still happen between himself and McGregor. And if it does, hes not sweating it.He has qualities, but I dont see anything that worries me about him, dos Anjos said. It would be a good matchup for me. I am a bad matchup for McGregor.Of course, a few things need to go down for that to happen. McGregor needs to avenge a loss to Nate Diaz, the one who stepped in for dos Anjos on 11 days notice at UFC 196. If all goes well, dos Anjos says he wont be hard to find.[McGregor] is the featherweight champion. Im the lightweight champion. I cannot make 145. They would need to cut my leg off, dos Anjos said. Hes the one that wants the lightweight belt. Hes the one that wants to be two-division champion. For now, Im looking for my division. If UFC actually think he deserves a shot in the lightweight, I will be there.Whats next in dos Anjos division is a title fight with Alvarez (27-4) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The former Bellator champion made splashes all across the world before signing with the UFC in 2014. Since falling to Donald Cerrone in his promotional debut, Alvarez has won his past two bouts -- both by split decision -- against Gilbert Melendez and Anthony Pettis to earn the shot.Dos Anjos spent four weeks in Singapore with Evolve MMA to continue his growth in Muay Thai. He then continued his camp for six weeks at Kings MMA in California with trainer Rafael Cordeiro, where they broke down tape of Alvarez and formulated the game plan for Alvarez.Nobody is perfect. Everybody has a hole in his game, and we saw a couple of ways to win the fight and we feel very confident that were going to get the win, dos Anjos said.RDA has been on an epic run, winning five in a row and 10 of his last 11. The oddsmakers currently see dos Anjos as more than a 3-to-1 favorite to retain his title (although Alvarez was more than a 2-to-1 underdog when he beat Pettis in January). At 31, dos Anjos credits his recent run of success to everything going well in and outside of fighting.I just feel that Ive reached a point in my life that I feel very mature, dos Anjos said. I feel very mature, and now Im getting to know my body better, not only physically and everything else, but spiritually. I feel that Im improving my spiritual life a lot.?Im getting to be a better person, a better father, a better husband, and I think everything you do outside of the Octagon has an effect on your life inside the Octagon.Thursdays card kicks off three cards in as many nights for the UFC, with UFC Fight Night airing exclusively on UFC Fight Pass. Although the card doesnt have nearly as high a profile as Saturdays mega UFC 200 pay-per-view card, it could easily be regarded as the most important bout in the short history of the companys streaming service.Dos Anjos agreed, saying, Internet is the future, and Im happy to be part of it.Mike Quick Eagles Jersey .

I got my hands full with enough already. Like I said, its still under review. Im not really going to talk about that right now.Even if he faces no legal consequences, Talib could still be suspended or fined by the NFL, which doesnt require criminal charges or a conviction to mete out player punishment.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Talibs case is under review of the personal conduct policy.Coach Gary Kubiak said the Broncos are just moving forward, hes playing great, obviously having a heck of a year and (were) expecting him to keep going.Teammates arent fretting either, suggested cornerback Chris Harris Jr.Thats a weird situation, Harris said. You never know whats going to happen. You never know what the NFLs going to do anytime, with any situation. Right now, hes not in jail. So, I mean, what can you do if he didnt go to jail? He didnt do anything wrong.On Sunday, the Broncos (4-0) host the Falcons (3-1), who are coming off a 48-33 rout of Carolina in which Matt Ryan threw for 503 yards and Jones became just the sixth player in NFL history to post a 300-yard receiving game.Talib, who was sidelined for three months after suffering a gunshot wound to his right thigh and calf, has started all four of Denvers games and has three interceptions.Thats one shy of his total from 2015 whenn he earned his third consecutive Pro Bowl berth, but also was suspended for one game for his deliberate eye poke to a Colts tight end, which cost him $323,529.ddddddddddddTalib is making $8.5 million this year and GM John Elway disputed a report last month that the Broncos had talked about trading him.His off-the-field troubles aside, Talib is a locker room leader with a charismatic personality. Kubiak asked him to address the team last weekend on the eve of his return to Tampa, where he began as career.Hes always outgoing, always keeps everybody upbeat, said Harris, who also played with Talib at the University of Kansas.Thats our man, outgoing, talkative. Hes just more of a brother. Hes always had my back. Ill always have his. Hes always been that type of teammate that if you get in trouble or anything, Aqibs going to be right there for you.Talib, who has had firearm incidents in the past, told Dallas police the night he was shot that he was too intoxicated to recall details of the shooting.He required stitches but no surgery and missed the Broncos visit to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl title.Hes offered few specifics of the shooting, other than to say he feels fortunate to still be playing football and wants to concentrate on helping the Broncos repeat as champions.He returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown against Andrew Luck in Week 2, his ninth career pick-6, and his fifth for Denver, a franchise record.Last week, he picked off a pair of passes in his return to Tampa Bay, where he played from 2008-12. Those interceptions set up Denvers first two touchdowns in the Broncos 27-7 win.Harris said Talib, whose 33 interceptions are more than any DB in the league since 2008, doesnt appear to be fazed by the specter of impending discipline from the commissioners office.Apparently its not bothering him at all, Harris said. So, if its not bothering him, its not going to bother us, and were just going to keep it rolling.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
