BOISE, Idaho – Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos is feeling the feeling that comes only from sweet victory. “Everything negative goes away when you get the ‘W,’” Dos Santos (19-5 MMA, 13-4 UFC) said after his unanimous-decision win over Blagoy Ivanov (16-2-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 133 headliner, which aired on FS1 from CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho. Despite a one-year layoff, Dos Santos thought his timing was on point. The only challenge was putting away the hard-headed Ivanov, who took dozens of punches and kept coming for the knockout.
