Former UFC heavyweight champion and all-around good guy Junior Dos Santos needs a win to get back on track after December’s TKO defeat to Alistair Overeem. The Brazilian’s bosses didn’t do him any favors with his next assignment.
On Monday, it was announced Dos Santos will return to the cage against red hot Ben Rothwell (pictured) at UFC Fight Night 82. The 265-pound affair headlines the gig.
Rothwell will be riding a four-fight winning streak into the tango. He’s finished off all of his victims during this current run, most recently submitting Josh Barnett last month at UFC on FOX 18.
