It's been 17 months since Junior Dos Santos stepped in a cage, but that streak will soon come to an end.
On May 20, the former UFC heavyweight champion will compete for the first time since his departure from the promotion he called home for more than 12 years, when he headlines Eagle FC 47, the latest event for the promotion headed by UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov.
