Preview of UFC on Fox: Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos

Whether this one lasts 3 or the full 300 seconds, it’s going to be an incredible fight. Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos are two of the most gentlemanly giants outside the cage, but in the Octagon they are ferocious competitors. That cherubic smile of JDS quickly vanishes in the eight-sided-fenced-cage and he becomes a monster ready to destroy.

This is a pick’em fight and flip a coin and take your chances. The MMA world is like advertising, and the last impression in your mind makes a big difference as to who you favor. JDS’s exploits in the Octagon are more fresh in the minds of fans than Velasquez’s, so the fearsome nature of the Brazilian heavyweight is easily accessible to our memory banks. Indeed, Dos Santos has been wrecking through all heavyweights in his path and we seem to have forgotten the dominance of Velasquez. It’s a good fight, but the takedowns of Velasquez should give him an edge. JDS has been great with takedown defense, but the relentless and aggressive chain-wrestling approach to takedowns Velasquez takes should give him and edge and get him the nod.
