'Confident' Junior dos Santos strongly believes he will be UFC heavyweight champion again

After taking out Ben Rothwell thanks to a five-round striking session at UFC Fight Night 86 earlier this year, Junior dos Santos went under the knife to repair an injured shoulder. Fast forward a few months, and the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion has been cleared to resume training.

With his health intact and an all-important victory under his belt, "JDS" says he’s feeling like a rejuvenated fighter. In fact, as he declared on The MMA Hour, he hasn’t felt this good since he made his UFC debut back in 2008.
