With the Octagon taking a brief and much needed hiatus, there really hasn’t been not much to talk about in the world of mixed martial arts. Thankfully, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has released a video preview for “UFC 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II” to get fanboys amped for their end of the year show.
A rematch between heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos (Pictured) and Cain Velasquez, the man he viciously took the 265-pound crown from last November, headlines the pay-per-view broadcast.
As the lineup currently stands, light heavyweights Forrest Griffin and Phil Davis serve as the night’s co-featured attraction.
MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts the December 29th event.
