For Dos Anjos, it's an opportunity to further legitimize himself as a champion by avenging a loss that he could shake of as being a fluke. Furthermore, even though Khabib lost his chance to fight for the title against Pettis due to injury; with a win against Nurmagomedov, RDA can put to bed any remaining naysayers (if there are any left after UFC 185) that feel he wasn't the rightful #1 contender to fight Pettis for the belt.
For Nurmagomedov, it's a chance to re-confirm himself as one of, if not the most, dominant lightweight in the division. It also serves as a way to remind people that RDA's loss to him was not a fluke and that Dos Anjos was merely a placeholder title contender/champion until he fully recovered from the issues with his knee. Furthermore, it serves as a platform for him to leap into stardom and become a big name fighter for the UFC in the United States as well as in Europe; with specific regards to Russia (a market the UFC has been aggressively trying to get into for a while now), and to a lesser extent the rest of Eastern Europe.

If/when they do again, we can have a rematch. I'll keep Khabib though, you silly ******.
