Junior Dos Santos Update, Undefeated Fighter Facing Second "Horsewoman," UFC UFN Weigh-In Results

- Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos tried his best to stay locked in for his The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale main event fight with Stipe Miocic. After breaking his hand, though, dos Santos was forced to exit. He has since been replaced by Fabio Maldonado for the May 31 card from Brazil.

During a recent on "UFC Tonight" earlier this week, the status of "Cigano" was revealed. He will need to immobilize his hand for four weeks to allow the broken bone to heal. No surgery will be needed as long as things progress over the next month.

Dos Santos was looking to get back on track after suffering a loss last year to Cain Velasquez in his quest to win back the UFC heavyweight title. He is targeting a return to action soon after his hand heals.

- Bethe Correia will get her chance to make it 2-for-2 against "The Four Horsewomen," signing to meet Shayna Baszler at UFC 176 later this year. The female bantamweight contest will take place August 2 from Los Angeles.

Correia (8-0) positioned herself perfectly in the division after defeating Jessamyn Duke last month. Following the decision win, she held up four fingers before dropping one of them, signifying she was coming after the remaining members of the group. That includes Ronda Rousey, the UFC female bantamweight champion.

Baszler (15-8) was a member of The Ultimate Fighter before losing to eventual champion Julianna Pena in the quarterfinals. She will be making her official Octagon debut.
