Junior Dos Santos at Eagle FC 47
Eagle FC returned to the US for Eagle 47 at the FLX Arena in Miami, Florida. The fight was broadcasted live on the FLX cast. The biggest fight of the card was the main event which was a heavyweight fight between MMA legend Junior Dos Santos and Yorgan De Castro. However, the fight led to an uneventful end as the former UFC champ ended up dislocating his shoulder.
De Castro started off the fight with some great shots but Santos with his experience landed strikes that were more significant. Junior showed why he is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time as he switched up his approach in the second round to hurt Castro with some effective leg kicks. Things came to an end in the third round.
Dos Santos was very effective coming into Round 3 as he pushed De Castro to the fence. A right hand that landed on the former champ led to the dislocation of his shoulder. Despite Junior Dos Santos trying to continue the fight, Yorgan was quick to point out to the referee that his opponent’s shoulder was injured which led to a stoppage. A fight that was leaning towards Junior ended up in favor of Yorgan as he was awarded a victory via TKO. Watch the moment below:
