10 Legendary MMA Fighters You've Probably Never Heard Of

Video of the Day: Dos Santos Receives Hero’s Welcome When He Arrives Home in Salvador, Brazil


(Video courtesy of YouTube/rsena84)

Junior dos Santos came full circle today as he arrived back home in Salvador, Brazil a UFC heavyweight champion. “Cigano,” whose rags to riches story had a fairytale ending Saturday night as he knocked out favorite Cain Velasquez as 8.8 million fans watched the upset on their televisions was welcomed like royalty at the Salvador Airport.

A marching band played his “Rocky” theme walkout song as dos Santos walked through the security gates and out the front doors amidst dozens of reporters and hundreds of well-wishers where he climbed aloft a fire truck parked outside to address his fans.

There’s a guy who will never get sick of press conferences and media obligations. The dude never stops smiling — at least not when he’s outside the Octagon. Good to see he’s getting the love and recognition he deserves from the people back home.

Can we implement a new cagepotato ban on writing a paragraph with only one period?

Brazil doesn't have marching bands... they have trio eletricos!

And was that Anderson Silva with JDS on top of the fire truck?

People in Brazil must be getting really tired of these welcomes.

8.8 Million? Damn, that's a good showing for their first event on fox. JDS deserved a great homecoming. He's a class act and a great fighter. Sidenote: if he stays with that wife of his you know he's the most loyal dude that ever lived.
