Dos Santos wins heavyweight slugfest with Lewis at UFC WichitaJunior dos Santos continued his recent momentum in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas, the first event ever held in the state.
A win over the higher ranked Lewis will help his prospects for a late-career run to perhaps recapture the heavyweight championship. A matchup between Ngannou and dos Santos had been scheduled for UFC 215 in Edmonton in 2017, but was pulled due to dos Santos being flagged by USADA for an anti-doping violation that was inevitably attributed to a tainted supplement.Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos has long been one of the more unheralded welterweights in the UFC and when he was given a co-main event opportunity against Curtis Millender, he made the most of it with a first-round rear-naked choke finish.
The loss is Millender’s first in the octagon following three straight wins to start his tenure with the promotion.UFC Fight Night in Wichita, Kansas drew 7,625 attendees for a gate of $636,417 . Anthony Smith, who recently lost when challenging Jones for the light heavyweight championship earlier this month at UFC 235, has already agreed to his next bout where he will face two-time title challenger Alexander Gustafsson in his hometown of Stockholm, Sweden on June 1.
