Back in his heyday as the UFC heavyweight champion, Junior Dos Santos built himself a reputation as a knockout artist. In his Octagon run alone, “Cigano” holds TKO/KO finishes over ex-champions like Gabriel Gonzaga, Frank Mir, and Cain Velasquez, as well as other respected names like Mirko Cro Cop and Derrick Lewis, to name a few.
Along the way, Dos Santos picked up three Knockout of the Night bonuses when it was still a thing. But according to him, there was one instance where he was supposed to win both KO of the night and Fight of the Night, only to be “deprived” by another combat sports heavyweight legend.
