7 hours agoJunior dos Santos: Alex Pereira has ideal matchup for heavyweight debut
Junior dos Santos predicts Alex Pereira will succeed in his heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane.
In the main event, then heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez looked unstoppable after a 12-1 run that had seen him throttle the likes of Brock Lesnar, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Ben Rothwell, and others en route to being promoted as the next generation of MMA heavyweight. Opposing him that night: Junior dos Santos, the Brazilian knockout machine who had carved his own path of destruction through the division with wins over Fabricio Werdum, Frank Mir, Mark Hunt, and others.
