Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos is gearing up for his mixed martial arts (MMA) return after undergoing successful shoulder surgery earlier this year, and he’s coming to reclaim the world heavyweight title.
"Cigano" took to Instagram to make that bold claim, which was met by positive and negative responses alike, as one reader was quick to remind him that Cain Velasquez is still in the wings and nearly retired him from the sport.
Not one to sit idle, Junior fired back by claiming that Velasquez "isn't the same anymore" since United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) came into the mix.
