Back in December of 2014, Dos Santos returned from a long injury layoff, after a brutal TKO loss in his trilogy fight against Cain Velasquez. At that time, Miocic was a relatively unproven Heavyweight at the elite level, and most experts predicted that the only way Miocic beats Junior dos Santos is if the latter's body has been compromised by the vicious beatings he took at the hands of Velasquez in their second and third fights.
