Impact It took Despaigne a minute or two to get a read on Dos Santos, who was taking the former Olympian off his feet with leg kicks. In the end, the Cuban fighter was simply too athletic and powerful, tagging the former UFC heavyweight champion with a three-punch combination that sent him down in a heap. MMA fans owe a debt of gratitude to "Cigano" for his contributions to the sport, which span two decades. While he has picked up wins in various disciplines in the last few years, the fact remains that Dos Santos has been finished by KO/TKO in his last seven losses, dating back to 2019. At 42 years of age, it is likely time for JDS to ride off into the sunset as he seems to be getting less durable with each passing fight. He fell to 23-11-0 in professional MMA due to the loss.
