Former UFC heavyweight champion Brazilian Junior dos Santos lost to Cape Verde’s Yorgan de Castro in the main fight of the Khabib Nurmagomedov Eagle FC 47 promotion tournament.
The tournament took place on the night of May 20-21 (Moscow time) in Miami. The fight between de Castro and dos Santos ended with a TKO in the 3rd round.
Recall that the UFC sacked dos Santos in March 2021 and signed a contract with the Eagle FC promotion a year later. In the UFC, the 38-year-old fighter won 15 fights and suffered 8 losses, and dos Santos has 21 wins and 10 losses in his career. After his success today, 35-year-old de Castro has 9 wins and 3 losses in MMA.
