Stepping in the octagon two times, Junior “Cigano” dos Santos needed less than 90 seconds to knock two opponents out. At UFC 90, Fabricio Werdum was the victim, and now (UFC 95), Stefan Struve couldn’t handle his striking. “Tanks God everything did right again,” said Junior. “I went to that fight to knock him out, it was what we’ve trained, but I didn’t believe it would happen so fast. He let me stay close to him and I could work”.
After the judge stop the fight, Struve protested. “He said he was ok, he could continue fighting,” revealed dos Santos. “But he watched the video and saw he felt my punches and felt, unconscious, and then came back. He suffered two knockdowns. The judge did right”. About his next challenge, the Brazilian doesn’t know who can step in against him.
“They didn’t said anything to me,” told the Brazilian. “I heard I could face Heath Herring, but then I heard he was going to Bellator event. Maybe I can fight Chick Kongo now… I hope they put some guy with a good name against me. I think it’d be an interesting fight against him (Kongo), he’s very strong, but doesn’t know a thing on the ground, he’s pretty weak. I think we’d do a great fight standing, very aggressive, and I’d be better than him on the ground, easily”.
