Fighting style
Dos Anjos is known for his aggressive, high-volume striking, physical strength, and strong takedown capabilities.[105][106] A southpaw,[107] he will often come out aggressively in a Muay Thai stance, then use feints and kicks to back his opponent against the cage while swarming them with flurries of punches as well as takedowns. He is particularly noted for his left kick to the body and right hook to the head; he uses these strikes to limit his opponent's lateral movement as they attempt to get their backs away from the fence. Under trainer Jason Parillo, dos Anjos developed a refined boxing game in 2017. On the ground, he is noted for his powerful ground-and-pound, which includes punches and sharp elbow strikes.[105] In addition to his striking, dos Anjos is a high-level black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.[8]
Dos Anjos trains out of Evolve MMA in Singapore and at Team RDA in California; he formerly trained at Kings MMA but left after losing to Eddie Alvarez.[108][109][110] He is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Aldo "Caveirinha" Januário.[8]
