Junior dos Santos believes he’s one win away from UFC title fight

Junior dos Santos had his hands raised in his return to competition, defeating Blagoy Ivanov in the main event of UFC Boise in July, and has no time to waste.

Happy to be back to fighting after proving that his failed drug test was result of contaminated supplements — and surprised with how much damage Ivanov could take without going down in a five-round fight — the former UFC heavyweight champion now targets a November return to the Octagon.

”The division is in a good moment right now, there are several good options,” dos Santos told MMA Fighting.
