Cain Velasquez vs Junior dos Santos 3 full fight Video UFC 166 – 2013

3_stars_mma_ranking_allthebestfightsReview: 2013-10-19, great fight with some tough exchanges, we are sure they will face each other in the future…two real warriors: the third fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos gets three stars. Cain Velasquez (12-1-0, 83% ko/tko victories – curiously he has never won by submission) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Junior dos Santos (16-2-0, 88% finishing rate) entered as the No.2. In their first fight ‘Cigano’ dos Santos defeated Velasquez by ko (November 12, 2011) while in their second bout Cain defeated JDS by unanimous decision (December 29, 2012); this third fight, main event of UFC 166, is valid for the UFC heavyweight title (Velasquez’s second defense).

2013 best MMA fight – Gilbert Melendez vs Diego Sanchez – full fight Video UFC 166

4_stars_mma_ranking_allthebestfightsReview: 2013-10-19, the final part of the fight between Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez was simply astonishing: brutal exchanges, blood, nonstop pace and big heart, so it could be a perfect candidate for Mma Fight of the Year 2013 but unfortunately the first part was “only” a very good one and not epic. For this reason Melendez vs Sanchez (UFC Fight of the Night) gets four stars and not five, but we would like to see a rematch since it was also a very close bout. Gilbert Melendez (21-3-0, 57% finishing rate) entered as the No.3 lightweight in the world while Diego Sanchez (24-5-0, 63% finishing rate) entered as the No.10 (currently the #1 in this weight division is Anthony Pettis). Melendez vs Sanchez is on the undercard of Cain Velasquez vs Junior dos Santos 3 – UFC 166. Watch the video!
