Junior dos Santos Almeida (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒũnjoʁ dus ˈsɐ̃tus]), also known as Junior Cigano (born September 12, 1984), is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist and the current UFC Heavyweight Champion. He is ranked as the number one heavyweight fighter in the world by numerous media outlets.[2][3][4]

Mixed martial arts career

Dos Santos started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Yuri Carlton for fitness reasons. After some time he was invited to join an MMA practice, where he met his boxing coach Luiz Carlos Dórea, and after roughly a year he made his debut fight.[5][6]

Early career

Dos Santos became professional in 2006 at the age of 21. He fought in small promotions in Brazil, such as Demo Fight, Extreme Fighting Championship, Minotauro Fights and Mo Team League. He won 6 out of his first 7 bouts, suffering his only loss to Joaquim Ferreira, a fighter he'd previously beaten.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (2008–present)

Debut (2008–2010)

Dos Santos debuted for the UFC on October 25, 2008 at UFC 90. Considered a major underdog,[7] dos Santos knocked out top contender Fabricio Werdum at a minute and twenty-one seconds of the first round with a strong uppercut,[8][9] earning himself a "Knockout of the Night" award.[10]

Dos Santos returned on February 21, 2009 at UFC 95 and fought promotional newcomer Stefan Struve defeating him at fifty-four seconds of the first round by TKO.[11]

On September 19, 2009, Dos Santos continued his winning streak and defeated Mirko Filipović at UFC 103.[12] During the third round, dos Santos dominated Filipović in the clinch with knee strikes and punches. A knee from the clinch and a right uppercut left Cro Cop unable to see causing him to verbally submit.[13]

Dos Santos was supposed to fight Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 108. However, Gonzaga pulled out of the bout on November 25, 2009, due to a staph infection.[14] Instead on January 2, 2010, dos Santos fought Gilbert Yvel,[15] winning the fight via TKO at two minutes and seven seconds of the first round.[16]

Dos Santos defeated Gabriel Gonzaga on March 21, 2010, at UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones by knockout in the first round.[17] Earning Dos Santos his second "Knockout of the Night" award.[18]

Heavyweight title contender (2010–2011)

Dos Santos faced Roy Nelson on August 7, 2010, at UFC 117.[19] The fight saw Dos Santos use a variety of strikes and, for the first time, a successful takedown.[20] Despite dos Santos' striking ability, Nelson was able to stay in the fight,[21] resulting in the fight going to decision.[22] Dos Santos won via unanimous decision (30–26, 30–27, 30–27).[23] Following the win Dos Santos was expected to challenge Cain Velasquez for the heavyweight title. However a torn rotator cuff suffered by Velasquez sidelined the champion for nearly a year.[24]

Junior Dos Santos in action against Shane Carwin in the main event of UFC 131.

On January 11, 2011, it was revealed that Dos Santos would be one of the coaches of The Ultimate Fighter Season 13, opposite to Brock Lesnar.[25] They were scheduled to face each other on June 11, 2011, at UFC 131,[26] but Lesnar pulled out of the bout due to a recurrence of diverticulitis and was replaced by Shane Carwin.[27] Dos Santos dominated Carwin and defeated him via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26),[28] relying predominantly on his boxing skills,[29] but showed more variety in his game by landing a couple of kicks and completing two takedowns in the third round.[30][31]

Dos Santos faced Cain Velasquez at UFC on Fox 1 for the UFC Heavyweight Championship on November 12, 2011.[32] Dos Santos defeated Velasquez in 1 minute and 4 seconds of the first round via KO to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship title.[33] Dos Santos dropped Velasquez with an overhand right and finished him off with a series of punches.[34] The performance also earned Dos Santos his third "Knockout of the Night" award.[35] After the fight, it was revealed that he had a torn meniscus in his knee,[36] he subsequently underwent a successful knee surgery.[37]

Dos Santos was scheduled to face Alistair Overeem on May 26, 2012 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena at UFC 146.[38] On April 4, 2012, the Nevada State Athletic Commission announced Overeem had failed a pre-fight drug test.[39] Overeem's "A" sample was found to have a elevated T/E ratio of 14:1, the NSAC's allowable ratio is 6:1, Overeem had the opportunity to request a test on his "B" sample.[40][41] A NSAC hearing on the issue was held on April 24, 2012.[42] At the hearing Overeem's request for a license was denied.[43] On April 20, 2012, Dana White the UFC president announced Frank Mir would be replacing Overeem.[44] Junior dos Santos was able to keep the fight standing, showing his superior boxing skills, resulting in a TKO in the second round.

A rematch is expected with Cain Velasquez on September 22, 2012 at UFC 152.[45]

Personal life

Moreover, he states that Antônio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira is his hero.[46] In addition to his native Portuguese, Dos Santos speaks English and has stated his intention to learn Spanish, Dos Santos is of Portuguese descent [47] He received his nickname "Cigano" by showing up to practice with long hair placed in a ponytail, Cigano meaning Gypsy in Portuguese, The name is an allusion to a character from an old Brazilian soap opera, addressing the culture of the gypsies in Brazil.[48] He is a Roman Catholic.[7] He has also stated that as a child he hated fighting.[49]
