Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos will not call it quits following his release from the promotion he called home for the past 12 years. After getting TKO’d by Cyril Gane and cut shortly after, ‘Cigano’ now considers what his next move will be and has a few options on his mind.
In an interview with Combate, dos Santos talked about his two preferred destinations post-UFC: either taking on legendary heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko or giving professional boxing a go. When it comes to facing the ‘Last Emperor’, Cigano says it would be a dream come true for him, especially if he could have the fight take place in Russia.
