Junior dos Santos: Renan Ferreira is MMA's Best Heavyweight

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos declared in an exclusive interview with Sherdog Brazilian correspondent Marcelo Alonso that Renan Ferreira will not only knock out Francis Ngannou on Oct. 19 at Professional Fighters League’s “Battle of the Giants,” but will also be recognized as the world’s best heavyweight.

“And I include not only Ngannou in this equation, but [Jon] Jones, [Stipe] Miocic and [Tom] Aspinall,” said Dos Santos, who also analyzed the fight between Jones and Miocic, with whom he fought twice.

JDS also discussed his expectation to defend his Gambred heavyweight title and revealed behind-the-scenes facts about his participation in former rival Fabricio Werdum's popular podcast.
