Junior dos Santos was released from the UFC after his loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC 256 in December of 2020. It was his fourth loss in a row as he lost to Gane, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Curtis Blaydes, and Francis Ngannou all by TKO.
Since the release, the Brazilian says he has been in talks with several promotions to get a deal done, but it never came to fruition. dos Santos also said he wanted to go into boxing but wasn’t sure if it would happen.
โWe were talking with bare-knuckle (BKFC), Bellator, PFL, some boxing conversations as well,โ dos Santos told MMA Junkie back in August. โI would love to do a boxing fight, but itโs hard to find heavyweights with enough courage to take a fight. These guys are just talking, but letโs see whatโs gonna happen. Iโm not in a rush. Iโm enjoying my time and as soon as we have a good deal, weโre gonna move on. My next step is, and I feel like itโs an important step, I just donโt want to go ahead and do it. I want to do it right.โ
With Junior dos Santos now signing with a management company, a boxing fight is imminent. Not only does he plan to box, but JDS plans to make a run up the division and eventually fight and beat Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and Tyson Fury.
