Velasquez vs. Dos Santos: This Fight Will Be an Instant Classic

Junior dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez will be a fight that every MMA fan remembers as long as they live.

This fight represents the most important night in UFC history, and the UFC president Dana White couldn’t have picked a better fight to represent the sport.

It’s the UFC’s first crack at network television, so they need a fight that will represent the sport not only with class but also with an outstanding performance.

They need a fight that will open the eyes of the world, and share with those unfamiliar with the sport the passion and intensity that every hardcore fan has running through their veins.

This is that fight. Neither Velasquez nor dos Santos has ever had a boring fight in the UFC, and most of their fights have ended in devastating fashion.

So chances are this fight stands up to the billing.

I thought White hit it right on the head when he said, “whether this fight goes 30 seconds or 30 minutes, this fight is going to be a fight right here.”

I just hope it goes longer than 30 seconds, but to be honest with you, I can’t see this fight getting out of the second round.

Both guys possess knockout power, and that’s what makes this fight so fun. Not only do they possess knockout power, but they both also have incredible chins and can take some punishment.

That’s why I think this fight will live up to the hype.

Most likely, both of these guys are going to feel each other out for the first couple of minutes, and then let their hands and feet fly.

I see this fight turning into a classic that both hardcore and casual fans alike marvel over.

Whether you’re a fan of MMA or not, you should tune into this fight. Tune in—not because it’s a monumental night or because your friends will be watching it, but tune in because this has the capability of being one of those fights you’ll never forget.

And remember one thing--don’t blink.
