In March, former UFC champion Junior Dos Santos was unceremoniously released from the company. At the time, he was ranked number 12 at heavyweight but was also on a four-fight skid.
Initially, the reported reason for Dos Santos’ release was because he supposedly turned down a short-notice fight at UFC 260. And now that he’s no longer under contract, “Cigano” is revealing more details surrounding his last two fights with the company.
As he recently stated on MMA Fighting.com’s Trocação Franca podcast, the 37-year-old Dos Santos essentially revealed that he was coerced into agreeing to fight Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ciryl Gane, respectively.
