Junior dos Santos, Yorgan De Castro

Junior dos Santos (21-9) has not fought since December of 2020 when he suffered a TKO loss to Ciryl Gane which marked his fourth in a row. After the loss, he was released from the UFC and initially inked a deal with Triller but a fight never came to fruition, and ended up signing with Eagle FC. On the losing skid, he suffered TKO losses to Jairiznho Rozenstruik, Curtis Blaydes, and Francis Ngannou. His last win came in March of 2019 as he TKO’d Derrick Lewis. The former UFC heavyweight champion also holds notable wins over Tai Tuivasa, Stipe Miocic, Cain Velasquez, and Frank Mir.

Yorgan De Castro (8-3) is 2-0 since being released from the UFC in 2021 after losing three straight. De Castro earned his way into the UFC after beating Alton Meeks on the Contender Series. In his debut, he knocked out Justin Tafa and then suffered back-to-back decision losses to Greg Hardy and Carlos Felipe and was then knocked out by Jarjis Danho. He competed on Eagle FC 44 last time out and submitted Shuan Asher.
