Junior Dos Santos’ winning streak came to a halt in just 71 seconds on Saturday when he suffered a quick loss to Francis Ngannou in the UFC on ESPN 3 headliner.

After going on a run that put him on the cusp of a title shot, the former UFC heavyweight champ Dos Santos (21-6 MMA, 15-5 UFC) succumbed to a first-round TKO defeat against Ngannou (14-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) in the main event matchup, which took place at Target Center in Minneapolis and aired on ESPN.

“Cigano” had an unsurprisingly positive outlook on his future after the result, but at 35 and with the in-cage damage adding up, there are legitimate questions about Dos Santos’ future after a crucial setback in his career.

So what does the loss mean for Dos Santos? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future.
