UFC Fight Night 142 Post-Mortem: Vintage ‘Cigano’

Junior dos Santos stepped into the Octagon at UFC Fight Night 142 on Saturday in Adelaide, Australia, and headlined an Ultimate Fighting Championship event for the 10th time in his 10-year run with the organization. Even though dos Santos has already achieved the highest of highs in the sport, “Cigano” still felt as if he had something to prove against up-and-comer Tai Tuivasa. In vintage fashion, dos Santos turned back the clock for a violent stoppage win in the second round. It was the 15th finish of the Brazilian’s career and gave him back-to-back victories for the first time since 2012.
