After putting together quite possibly the most dominating performance ever in a UFC heavyweight championship bout, Cain Velasquez has in turn transformed into a quintessential untouchable prodigy.
Opposite Junior dos Santos, the very man who knocked him out 13 months ago and the very man who people considered unstoppable, Velasquez inflicted as much damage as a fighter could do without securing a finish.

Here’s an in-depth analysis and review of Velasquez’s dominance at UFC 155 en route to reclaiming the heavyweight title he lost last year.
