It seems that last years Memorial Day all-heavyweight main card must've been a success in the eyes of the UFC brass. This year we will be getting heavy once again, well, at least top heavy.
Sitting atop the UFC 160 pay-per-view portion of the promotions yearly Memorial Day offering will be a rematch between last years co-main event participants Cain Velasquez and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.

The co-main event of the evening will feature former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos against the man who was next in line to face him if history would've played out like everyone assumed it would - Alistair Overeem.
Wins for Velasquez and JDS set up the 3rd match of the inevitable heavyweight trilogy everyone is clamoring for. The three other p...
