A video of a man knocking out several fellow nightclub patrons has since gone viral. TMZ Sports went on to report the video as footage of former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos being the filmed aggressor.
However, TMZ Sports has since reported that they have been contacted by Junior dos Santos’ attorney and informed that the former title holder was in fact not the individual within the video. Rather, dos Santos has been on vacation with his family.
Check out dos Santos’ attorney’s statement within the social media post below.
“A @youtube video showing a violent club fight incorrectly identifies @junior_cigano as the aggressor. It is defamatory & an infringement of Junior’s trademark rights. Formal complaints have been filed. Junior has never & would never strike anyone outside of a professional bout.”
