Junior dos Santos 'more mature' with fatherhood, promises to 'take that belt' from Stipe Miocic

As the last man to beat UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, Junior dos Santos has extra motivation for his upcoming title bout.

The former champion will headline UFC 211 in Dallas, Texas, on May 13, and feels “more mature” as he approaches his first fight of 2017 — and he’s not bothered by the fact that he hasn’t fought since April 2016.

"I’m feeling good, I’m training very well here at ATT and I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem for me,” dos Santos told Ariel Helwani on a recent edition of The MMA Hour.
