Gallery Junior Dos Santos def. Blagoy Ivanov at UFC Fight Night 133: Best photos view 15 images

Imagine you’re on a relaxing, peaceful vacation with your family when, from out of nowhere, you’re being labeled as the perpetrator of a violent rampage.

That’s what happened to former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos, who was an apparent victim of being falsely identified in nightclub security footage posted on YouTube. In the video, patrons of the nightclub can be seen dancing when, all of a sudden, a muscular man with a shaved head goes berserk. He starts throwing punches at anyone around him and knocks out at least four people unconscious, including men trying to stop him.

The footage was posted to YouTube and identified the assailant by Dos Santos’ nickname “Cigano.”

Dos Santos’ Attorney, Ana Claudia Guedes, told TMZ that her client was vacationing with his family in Turks and Caicos at the time of the assault and was not at a nightclub.

Guedes also issued a statement on Twitter, asking that YouTube take down the video.

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. — Ana Claudia Guedes (@GuedesGroup) August 27, 2018

As of Tuesday morning, the video no longer appears to be on YouTube. Multiple search attempts yielded no results.

Dos Santos currently doesn’t have a fight booked, though he’s recently gone back and forth on social media with Tai Tuivasa. Dos Santos is coming off a unanimous-decision win over Blagoy Ivonov last month at UFC Fight Night 133.
