Jared Gordon DMs Rafael Dos Anjos: “Please Don’t Wrestle” Paul Felder
Rafael Dos Anjos and late replacement opponent Paul Felder will headline this weekend’s UFC Vegas 14 show and Jared Gordon issued a plea to Dos Anjos days before the bout.
Gordon would reveal that he cannot corner Felder this weekend due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but he also DM’ed Dos Anjos, asking him not to wrestle Felder on Saturday Night:
@felderpaul asked me to corner him Saturday, I snap called. After consideration I decided I couldn’t. I trained on Friday with a person who tested positive for covid the next day. I feel fine, but dk if Im carrying it. But Im still doing my work from the sidelines! pic.twitter.com/iN8GZLvxyU

Dos Anjos has yet to respond to Gordon’s request, at least publicly, but the fighter does have a devastating ground game. 10 of his 29 pro-MMA wins have come by way of submission. Felder, who is known for his striking prowess, has never been submitted as a professional MMA fighter.
