Since his debut in Ultimate in 2008, Cigano has already shown that his rise would be meteoric. Escalated to face Fabricio Werdum, Junior took no notice of his rival, who was one of the main names in the division at that point, and knocked him out in less than a minute. From then on, the Brazilian began a sequence of nine victories, which included winning the heavyweight title Cain Velazquez and a defender against Frank mir.

In December 2012, the Brazilian suffered his first defeat in the octagon, in the rematch against Velasquez. Gypsy would still win Mark Hunt before facing the American of Mexican descent again, being defeated for the second time. Throughout 2014, dos Santos dealt with injuries and withdrew from his participation in the TUF Brasil 3 Final, in May, due to a hand injury. Now, the former champion returns precisely against Stipe Miocic, who would be his opponent on the São Paulo card.
