Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos apparently has moves both in and out of the Octagon.
Dos Santos made his debut on the Brazilian version of “Dancing with the Stars” on Sunday night, and by all accounts, “Cigano did quite well. Paired with professional dancer Ana Paula Guedes, dos Santos scored 58.4 points out of a possible 60 to land in first place on opening night.
Dos Santos’ performed to the popular song “What is Love” by Haddaway and even opened the routine with some brief shadow boxing, much to the mock dismay of his partner. Watch the Brazilian’s entire performance in the video above.
Other fighters to have competed on "Dancing with the Stars" include Paige VanZant, Chuck Liddell and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
