UFC 160: Is Junior dos Santos the only one who can beat Cain Velasquez?

He's done it before, and he's confident he can do it again. Junior dos Santos was able to hand current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez his first career loss two years ago, knocking him out on prime time television at the inaugural UFC on FOX 1 event in Anaheim, California, ending his reign before it ever began with one well-placed...

Bigfoot Silva believes he only needs one good shot to put Cain Velasquez down at UFC 160.

  The fight could go absolutely differently come May 25th, or it could go the same, and Bigfoot Silva will walk away from Las Vegas looking like he does in the picture above. What it seems to come down to is Bigfoot’s different approach to this fight. Maybe he won’t throw a lazy leg kick at an elite wrestler and won’t get taken down, maybe he will aim for Cain’s head.

Sunday Morning Coming Down - 5/5/13

Well, I woke up Sunday morning  With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.  And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,  So I had one more for dessert.  Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes  And found my cleanest dirty shirt.  Then I washed my face and combed my hair  And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day - and for some strange reason the first...

Cain Velasquez UFC 160 Pre Fight Interview

This fight is not as intriguing as most title match ups simply because Cain destroyed Bigfoot in their last match up that was only eleven months ago.  Still Bigfoot proved to be the number one contender by beating Travis Browne and Alistair Overeem and the UFC did not want to have their heavyweight champion sit on the shelf for to long.  I am probably more excited to see JDS vs...

Dana White Confirms That With Win JDS Will Get Rematch Against Velasquez

Dana White confirmed after UFC 159 that with a win over Mark Hunt at UFC 160 Junior Dos Santos will fight Cain Velasquez for the third time.  Both fighters are clearly the two best in the division and in my opinion will fight five times in their career.  In their first match JDS knocked out Velasquez in just over a minute of the first round in the UFC’s debut on FOX.  However...

  It’s surprisingly easy to forget amongst the JDS/Mark Hunt/Overeem race to the Cain Velasquez prize that Fabricio Werdum and Big Nog are just as much in the mix as anyone in the heavyweight division. Werdum has been riding his impressive two-fight win streak in which he absolutely dominated his foes — Roy Nelson and Mike Russow and his last loss was against Overeem, a man...
