Junior dos Santos updates fans on shoulder injury suffered at Eagle FC 47

Junior dos Santos is fine after suffering an injury in his fight against Yorgan De Castro at Eagle FC 47 this past Friday.

Dos Santos hoped to begin his post-UFC career with a win, and the former UFC heavyweight champion was on his way to doing that before the shoulder injury happened. He threw a punch in the third round and dislocated his shoulder, which ultimately led to the fight ending. De Castro was declared the winner via third-round technical knockout.

The ending was unfortunate for Dos Santos, who has not won a fight since his second-round technical knockout of Derrick Lewis at UFC on ESPN+ 4 over three years ago.
