Khabib Nurmagomedov’s fight promotion Eagle FC, welcomes former UFC heavyweight champion, Junior Dos Santos, into their roaster
Once the UFC heavyweight champion of the world, Junior Dos Santos has signed with Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Eagle FC – the popular new promotion in town.
Santos won the UFC heavyweight crown via a 64 seconds knockout of Cain Velasquez. Popular for his dynamic fighting style and immaculate boxing skills, Dos Santos looks to embark on this new second-wind career journey.
He will face Yorgan de Castro, a wildcat with sharp leg kicks and a warrior’s heart. The matchup was first reported by ESPN.
It is impressive to see a promotion like this give these legends a platform to revitalize their career. It makes for a perfect barter- while the promotion builds itself up with promoting prominent figures in the game, these fighters get an opportunity to make some good money doing what they’ve been doing forever.
