Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos will have to stay on the sidelines for a while following his last loss. In an unfortunate performance at Eagle 47, the Brazilian was winning the fight against fellow Octagon vet Yorgan de Castro, until ‘Cigano’ dislocated his shoulder early into the third round and lost by TKO due to injury.
Now, in an conversation with Ag Fight, Santos confirmed he will need to undergo surgery in order to properly heal from the injury.
According to Junior, the procedure is supposed to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sometime during next week.
