UFC next in line for a title shot heavyweight striker Junior dos Santos will face the winner of the upcoming championship bout between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez after his three round pummelling of Roy Nelson. Dos Santos was recently asked by Tatame about his thoughts on UFC 117 as a whole and he made an interesting comment regarding American wrestlers and their technique:
The event itself was excellent, but unfortunately there were Brazilian defeats. The Americans are good on what they do, they have a good Wrestling technique and they take you down and stay there forever, getting theirs points and winning their fights. It’s a boring fight, but it’s an efficient game they have. Let’s look forward now… Unfortunately Rafael dos Anjos got hurt on the first round, but we have to move on.
Junior has shown that he’s got some quick hips and a very good takedown defense. Add that to his lethal striking and he could give either Lesnar or Velasquez problems and should make for a very interesting fight. The MMA News can’t wait.
