It’s the heavyweight bout you thought you’d never see, but it’s finally going down!
Junior “Cigano” Dos Santos returns after a three-round war against Roy “Big Country” Nelson, and he has his sights set on Cain Velasquez and the UFC heavyweight title around the waist of the AKA behemoth.
Months ago, Brock Lesnar was thought to be the man in Junior’s way of facing Velasquez, but a second bout with diverticulitis has forced Lesnar out, bumping Shane Carwin back into the driver’s seat and back in line for a crack at the belt…
…that is unless Dos Santos will have anything to say about it.
Co-headlining this monumental card from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is a featherweight bout between fast-rising Black House phenom Diego Nunes and now-our-division veteran of the Octagon and TUF 1 alumnus Kenny Florian in a bout that has the potential to be one of the greatest MMA showcases of all time.
It’s all right here, it’s UFC 131, and as always, the Bleacher Report family syndicate has your back on the latest coverage, news, and up-to-the-date analysis of what could be the best fight card of this summer!
