Review: 2012-12-29, after watching the rematch between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez a second time, we give it three stars but it was close to get four since the first two rounds were very exciting thanks to a great pace and one knockdown, but in the following rounds the pace slows down and they are not as active as at the beginning; we would like to see a third fight very soon but we also know that Alistair Overeem is waiting for the UFC belt… Junior dos Santos (15-1-0) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Cain Velasquez (10-1-0) entered as the No.2. In their first fight JDS defeated Velasquez by ko (November 12, 2011); ‘Cigano’ dos Santos vs Velasquez 2 is valid for the UFC Heavyweight title (dos Santos’ second defense), main event of UFC 155. Watch the video!

BEST UFC FIGHT OF THE YEAR, CONGRATS CAIN YOU ARE THE NUMBER ONE
this was nowhere near “the best fight of the year”
no one has tested Cain jujistu
junior should have jumped on him but he was too eager to be on his feat!!!!
Too eager to be on his “feat”??
Right on Danny!!!….I laughed soooo much,what a punch line
Improve cardio and clinch work and Junior will have more success. He was more tired than anything from the pace of the fight. Cain is relentless and was able to take away Junior’s danger on the feet by keeping him moving back.
I wish cain fights alister
