Junior dos Santos proved to be a rough welcoming committee for Blagoy Ivanov, winning a unanimous-decision victory to close out UFC Fight Night 133 in Boise, Idaho, on Saturday. Dos Santos utilized his strong boxing skills to outclass Ivanov through five rounds.
The two sluggers spent most of the first round in an extended feeling-out process. Dos Santos played the role of aggressor, backing Ivanov down while the Bulgarian looked for opportunities to counter. JDS' distance management and ability to dictate pace turned out to be early themes.
