Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez made their sequel to 'Gone in 64 seconds' last night in Vegas. It was called '25 minutes of Vengeance', and it was Velasquez who swung the hammer this time. From bell to bell Velasquez put it on JDS in every aspect of the fight. It became clear as the fight wore on who the best Heavyweight in the world today truly is. Don't worry Dos Santos fans, a trilogy fight is inevitable, and Junior will have plenty of time to make adjustments.
The Stats:
Velasquez landed 111 significant strikes at a 50 % clip. That's a little over a dozen less than what Bendo landed on Diaz in Seattle earlier this month but let's take a moment to think about this - these are Heavyweights. Junior dos Santos got hit a total of 210 times by this 240 pound beast in 25 minutes. Maybe Nike can invest in a limited edition JDS icepacks and Advil bottles. JDS landed 66 of 146 strikes and went 0'fer in the takedown department.

The UFC Heavyweight Championship once again resides on the mantle of Cain Velasquez.
To say that Velasquez beat Junior dos Santos last night would not do it justice. He overwhelmed, frustrated, bloodied and dominated the Brazilian to comfortably knock him off his perch and take back what he lost a little over 14 months ago.
