Consider this our "out of left field" selection for inclusion on The Simpsons. However, there's a fun back story to it.

Junior Dos Santos is a former UFC heavyweight champion, and remains one of the top competitor's in the division today. He's also an incredibly generous human being and all-around decent guy when you get past the fact that he knocks people out for a living. Dos Santos has played soccer games for charity, and even flew a young Brazilian boy out to Las Vegas for one of his fights.

He also has the rather amusing backstory of having learned English (or at least starting to) by watching none other than The Simpsons. That's the perfect hook to get the heavyweight slugger on the show.

Plus, since the UFC airs on FOX in the U.S., it should be easy enough to arrange. Dos Santos vs. Drederick Tatum, anyone?
