Junior Dos Santos, UFC Boise

On Saturday night, the UFC will return to our screens with the shockingly stacked UFC Boise card.

This UFC Boise card will be headlined by a heavyweight contender bout between former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos, and Bulgarian Sambo specialist Blagoy Ivanov, a former World Series of Fighting heavyweight champ who has long been considered one of the best heavyweights outside the UFC.

The co-main event, meanwhile, will occur at 170 pounds, where “Super” Sage Northcutt will attempt to earn his first W in the UFC welterweight division opposite the dangerous Zak Ottow.

Other highlights of the card occur the long-awaited return of three-time UFC featherweight challenger Chad Mendes, who battles Myles Jury, a compelling women’s bantamweight bout between Cat Zingano and Marion Reneau, and a bafflingly under-promoted fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Darren Elkins.

On Friday morning, the 26 fighters on this 13-bout UFC Boise card took to the scales to weigh in for their respective battles.

In a rare twist, every single fighter on the bill hit their mark. That’s right, not a single fighter missed their contracted weight for this UFC Boise card. So much for Friday the 13th being bad luck.

Here are the full UFC Boise weigh-in results (via MMAJunkie).

After UFC Boise triumph, Junior dos Santos wants number-one contender fight with Stipe Miocic

Tom Taylor - July 15, 2018

Last night, in the main event of UFC Boise, former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos stepped into the Octagon to battle former World Series of Fighting champion Blagoy Ivanov, who was making his anticipated UFC debut. The bout marked dos Santos’ first fight after a lengthy SNAFU with USADA, in which he was ultimately deemed innocent, but suspended anyway. For this reason, it was extra crucial that dos Santos pick up a win if he hoped to reestablish himself as one of the heavyweight division’s best. In the end, dos Santos earned his sorely-needed win, out-fighting the debuting Ivanov to a unanimous decision victory. Having reaffirmed himself as one of the game’s premier heavyweights, dos Santos is now hoping to participate in a number-one-contender fight with former champion Stipe Miocic.

Drake Riggs - July 12, 2018

Right when UFC 226’s heavyweight championship main event concluded, we knew exactly what the next title fight within the division would be. That, of course, is the return of former UFC champion and WWE star Brock Lesnar who will receive an immediate title shot against new dual-division champion Daniel Cormier once he’s eligible to compete again in January.
