Dos Santos reveals who gave him the hardest blow in his career

Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos admitted that he missed the hardest blow in his career from another ex-title holder Stipe Miocic.

“The hardest blow I received was from Stipe Miocic in my first fight, which I won. In the second round, he hit me with a cross to the head, and it was a very, very strong blow.

For a few seconds I lost my sight and hearing. I remained conscious, but my vision was blurry, everything was almost black. I was trying to figure out where Stipe was. Fortunately, he came close, so I entered the clinch, breathed and recovered. This is the hardest blow I’ve ever received from a fighter,” Combate quotes dos Santos.

Let us remember that Dos Santos and Miocic met twice in the Octagon. In December 2014, the Brazilian won by unanimous decision, and in May 2017, the American took revenge, scoring a knockout in the first round.
