De Castro defeats Dos Santos in a dramatic match

Eagle F.C. celebrated this Friday his tthird event on North American soil, offering 11 mixed martial arts bouts from the FLX Arena in Miami, Florida. The poster had the presence of veteran and emerging high-level athletes for the enjoyment of the audience.

In the main duel, the former champion of the UFC JDos Santos fell defeated against the knockout Yorgan De Castro, this due to a shoulder injury suffered during the third round. That’s five straight losses for the 38-year-old Dos Santos, who previously lost to Francis Ngannou, Curtis Blaydes, Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ciryl Gane before leaving the UFC. For his part, De Castro increases his active streak to three wins, two of them by completion.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, owner and visible face of Eagle FC, assures that it is still possible to schedule the duel between Dos Santos and Fedor Emelianenko, legend of mixed martial arts. “I think it’s still viable. Because even if he lost, Junior looked amazing. I think about his shoulder, as an athlete, because I know when you have an injury, what you need, how many months you need to recover, everything,” Khabib said after the event. “I think after three or four months, he can go back to training and at the end of the year we can do this fight. Next week I’ll sit down with Scott Coker and we’ll talk about this fight.”

In the co-main event, veteran Hector Lombard faced the brazilian Thiago Silva in a duel that ended in ‘don’t answer’, after Silva hit his opponent with a illegal knee in the second assault.
