Well…that didn’t take too long. At the 1:04 mark in the main event of UFC on Fox 1, Junior dos Santos landed an explosive overhand right that sent Cain Velasquez to the promised land.

Sorry to quote the late Randy “Macho Man” Savage, but the presentation reminded me of the old Saturday Night’s main event from the WWF days.

The reigning champion was coming off of an injury that had previously had this fight delayed. I’m not sure if there was Octagon rust or what, but truly, it appeared to be a strict style mismatch. Group that with a huge reach advantage and you have this explosion.

Velasquez was attempting to soften the body and legs of dos Santos, as he wanted to take him to the ground. Junior left no doubt what his intentions were from the beginning. He stood tall and only varied his attacks with head shots and a couple of nice shots to the gut.

Brock Lesnar was not pleased with the outcome, as he was eagerly awaiting an opportunity to rematch Velasquez, who had dethroned him to earn the title. That may have to wait, as he is scheduled to take on UFC newcomer Alistair Overeem in December.

The winner of that fight will face Junior dos Santos for the heavyweight title next year. Whoever is on the docket next for dos Santos better beware of that destructive right hand. He has more than proved his power.
