Tonight will be an awesome fight. Also Lesnar will fight Dec. 30th.

I have high hopes for this one. I'll take Velasquez by TKO.

**halfback20** · Nov 12, 11, 10:47 AM

I just can't see Dos Santos getting KO'd by Velasquez. Dos Santos is the superior striker IMO. I could see Velasquez trying to take him down and winning it that way, but I'm gonna go with Dos Santos by KO, round 2.

I cant wait, gonna be an awesome fight. I think these two are very evenly matched and wouldnt be surprised if this one goes the distance. I'll take Cain but its a tough one to call.

This has the potential to go 5- I like Cain by decision.

Is the main event the only thing airing on fox?

**formerkywrestler** · Nov 12, 11, 08:51 PM

Well, I got that one way wrong.

Yep.

Man I tell yeah JDS might be the champ for a long time. Overeem due to his striking might be the guy who matches up best with him.

**halfback20** · Nov 12, 11, 09:56 PM

Looks like I had everything right except the round.

**sportsfan41** · Nov 12, 11, 10:14 PM

I wonder if they regret making it a one event debut for fox, because that was a bit of a let down.

Well, I was pretty spot on...

I would love to see Jr. fight Overeem.

Big mistake by FOX only making it one fight. Too lazy to get into why, but most probably know. Might tomorrow if I feel like it.

Fox clearly doesn't understand the sport. How much did they pay for the rights?

I hope this was simply a preview of whats to come in future UFC ON FOX. Like a small taste...let's hope they show 3-4 fights from now on.

They plan on it. The deal actually doesn't start until January so this was just a preview.

Anyway to watch the prelims? Would like to see the Ben Henderson fight.

I sort of felt like HB. The unknown for me was whether Cain could take Dos Santos down. I felt pretty good about JDS's chances if he could keep it standing. I didn't think it was out of the realm of possibility that Cain could beat him in the stand up, but from what I've seen, the advantage was to Dos Santos in that realm. He's a better boxer, but more noteworthy to me was two things: 1) Cain is easier to hit than Dos Santos and 2) he's been rocked on 2 or 3 previous occasions. Dos Santos doesn't get hit much and I've never seen him hurt.

The one thing I felt certain of was that this fight would end early. I would have been surprised to see it go 2 full rounds.

That said, I wouldn't count Velasquez out in a rematch. I suspect he'll come with a more aggressive wrestling plan next time. Either way, I don't see anyone else beating either of these guys in the HW division. Dos Santos would destroy Overeem. But, I doubt we'll ever see that matchup because I don't think he can beat Brock. I think Overeem could be the most overrated fighter on the planet.
