Junior Dos Santos Near 100%

UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos is still recovering, but is reportedly close to 100% healthy.

Here is what he had to say recently:

“I’m feeling great about my knee already. I think another 10 days I’ll be 100-percent.

“I’m training boxing, I’m lifting weights, but I can’t train jiu-jitsu yet. But I think another 10 days and I’ll be training normally again.”

Dos Santos hopes to return sometime this spring/summer, when he’ll meet kickboxer and Muay Thai fighter, Alistair Overeem. Dos Santos captured the HW title by demolishing Cain Velasquez, while Overeem earned a shot when he destroyed former champion Brock Lesnar.

The UFC has a dream matchup between two skilled heavyweights that will look to stand and bang until someone ends asleep up on the canvas.
