The UFC has a chance to make it main stream on November 12 at 9 p.m. on FOX. The main card will feature undefeated Cain Velasquez battling against “Cigano” Junior Dos Santos, which means that the first night of UFC fighting on regular cable will feature a championship fight.
Velasquez is 9-0, standing in at 6’1, and weighs in at about 240 pounds. He is a well rounded fighter out of San Jose, Calif., who is one of best at takedowns in the heavyweight division. Velasquez’s claim to fame was defeating Brock Lesner for the UFC title back in UFC 121.
Dos Santos is 13-1, standing in at 6’4, weighs in at about 238 pounds. He has a boxing style with a lot of strength behind his punches, and this Brazilian is really making a name for himself in the UFC. Junior has become one of the biggest names after defeating both Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson in his past two fights winning, both won by unanimous decisions.
Do not miss this fight, as this has the equivalence of the first NFL Championship aired that is now known as ” the greatest game ever played.” Will we see the same result and will this be one of the greatest fights? Tune in to FOX this Saturday and see two of the best fighters clash for the heavyweight championship belt.
