No hard feelings! Ex-coach wants Junior dos Santos to return to Brazil, recapture former glory

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos no longer trains under original mentor Luiz Dorea, having recently packed his bags to relocate to the famed American Top Team (ATT) camp in Coconut Creek, Florida.

The results were disastrous.

"Cigano" was popped and dropped in the second round of his Alistair Overeem fight at UFC on FOX 17 (watch it), in a performance that was a far cry from the days when Dos Santos ruled the 265-pound roost with heavy hands and an iron jaw.

Perhaps it was just cage rust (because of this), or maybe it was something much worse.
