Junior Dos Santos explains importance of ending rivalry, becoming friends with Fabricio Werdum

BAD MMA News — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 02:02:45 +0000

Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos is glad to be able to move past differences with a fellow former Brazilian champ. In 2008, Dos Santos made his UFC debut against Fabricio Werdum. Dos Santos finished Werdum in just 81 seconds, marking an exit from the promotion, and thus sparking a bitter rivalry. Werdum would return to the UFC four years later, but didn’t cross paths with Dos Santos. Their second meeting would come 15 years after the first at Gamebred Bareknuckle 5. Dos Santos once again claimed victory, but the fight went o the scorecards as they were both trying to figure out how to best operate without gloves.

Ex-UFC champ Junior Dos Santos says hardest punch he ever took was from Stipe Miocic

BAD MMA News — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 15:27:42 +0000

Junior Dos Santos ’ pick for hardest hitter he’s ever faced might surprise a lot of people. Dos Santos, the former UFC heavyweight champion, fought the who’s who of big men during his octagon tenure. From devastating knockout artist Francis Ngannou, to Cain Velasquez, to Mark Hunt, and the UFC record holder for most knockout wins, Derrick Lewis, Dos Santos has faced it all. But it was none of those names who stand out to Dos Santos as the man who landed the hardest punch on him. Dos Santos revealed to MMA Junkie Radio that another ex-champ, Stipe Miocic , landed a punch in their first fight in December 2014 that impacted him more than any other he’s ever been hit with. “The hardest was Stipe Miocic in the first fight that I won,” Dos Santos told MMA Junkie Radio.

BAD MMA News — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 01:41:17 +0000

Fabricio Werdum wanted Vale Tudo rules for his upcoming bare-knuckle mixed martial arts (MMA) fight against Junior dos Santos. The two former UFC heavyweight champions are set to headline Jorge Masvidal’s upcoming Gamebred Bareknuckle 5 event.
