In a rather sportsman fashion, “Cigano” has gone to Instagram to publish a respectful repost to Miocic’s significant other.
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior “Cigano” dos Santos is set to face current champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 211 in May. As the title fight ramps up to its exciting conclusion, Santos has posted a message to Instagram to show the MMA community his respect and admiration going into the bout.
“It’s gonna be a honor to compete with a true champion like your husband.

Being a champion isn’t about boasting, bragging, insults, or useless banter. Being a champion is about courage, honor, and respect. Respect for everyone you encounter. Respect for your opponents, their teams, and families. Respect for your art. Respect for hard work, always conducting yourself like the professional, positive, role model you are both inside and outside of the octagon. Being a champion is about setting a positive example for kids, who are the future of your sport. True champions are those who lead by example using their actions, not their words. Sometimes the most proud moments I have of you @stipemiocicufc are the ones that have nothing to do with fighting.”
