At UFC 166, Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos will try to break their tie in a trilogy fight that could put the winner on a path to becoming the best heavyweight in MMA history.
Dos Santos knocked Velasquez out in the first round of their initial meeting. Velasquez dominated JDS from start to finish in their second clash. Clearly the two best heavyweights in the world, the winner of Saturday’s bout could have a lengthy title run ahead.
In addition to the heavyweight championship bout, UFC 166 could produce top contenders in the light heavyweight and lightweight divisions.
Though fighting at heavyweight on Saturday, Daniel Cormier is expected to move to 205 pounds in his next outing. An impressive win over Roy Nelson at UFC 166 could position Cormier for a quick shot at the light heavyweight strap.
On the heels of a controversial loss to then-champion Benson Henderson, Gilbert Melendez will try to jump back into the title hunt Saturday. Standing between the former Strikeforce champion and another shot at the belt will be fellow former title challenger Diego Sanchez.
