Junior dos Santos: I will KO Francis Ngannou, reclaim UFC heavyweight title and then challenge Deontay Wilder

If you thought Junior dos Santos was nearing the end of his career, think again.

Not only does the former UFC heavyweight champion plan to KO Cameroonian powerhouse Francis Ngannou at UFC on ESPN 3, but ‘Cigano’ is poised on reclaiming the heavyweight throne and then challenging heavy-hitting knockout artist Deontay Wilder in a boxing match.

Dos Santos outlined his plans to MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin ahead of Saturday’s highly anticipated heavyweight bout against ‘The Predator’.

“I believe I have more skills than him. I have better boxing. I know he was talking about even fighting in boxing,” dos Santos said.
