After sitting on the sidelines and getting his problems with the U.S. anti-doping agency resolved, former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos made a triumphant return to the Octagon Saturday night.
Dos Santos scored a convincing decision over Blagoy Ivanov in the main event of UFC Fight Night 133, and promptly called for a third meeting with fellow ex-champion Stipe Miocic next.
Sage Northcutt was among the other winners, as the youngster earned a finish vs. Zak Ottow via strikes.
Rick Glenn, Niko Price, Chad Mendes and Cat Zingano were all winners from the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, as the UFC debuted in Idaho.
