Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos 3 Highlights (The TRILOGY)

UFC 166: Velasquez vs. dos Santos III was a mixed martial arts event held on October 19, 2013, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
The main event was a UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion Cain Velasquez and top contender Junior dos Santos. The two have split their two previous encounters with Dos Santos winning the first bout via first-round knockout at UFC on Fox: Velasquez vs. dos Santos and then Velasquez winning the rematch via unanimous decision at UFC 155.
The bout almost lasted the full 25 minutes. The challenger had his moments where he looked to have hurt the champion, but for the most part, it was Velasquez implementing an excellent game plan which wore down Dos Santos until he managed to secure a finish late in the 5th round. Although Velasquez managed to take Dos Santos down a few times, he once again had a hard time keeping his rival down on the ground. This also happened during the second fight, but a great adjustment was made and Cain was instead able to implement an effective ‘wall-n-maul’ strategy for the majority of this bout. For the majority of the contest, Cain closed the distance and pushed Junior up the fence, constantly landing knee strikes and dirty boxing which wore down his opponent.
He effectively neutralized Dos Santos’ boxing as he never gave him room to breathe, and it left the challenger to attempt very few elbow strikes from the clinch. He wasn’t really able to reverse the position for most of the contest, and Cain continued to pile on with small shots that took their toll.
In the third round, Velasquez came really close to securing a finish after landing a big right hand. He dropped Junior twice that round, and Herb Dean almost stopped the contest when Cain was going in for the kill. Dos Santos was able to survive, but the following rounds it still went the same way. Velasquez continued with his effective strategy until he was able to completely wear down Dos Santos in the 5th. Junior desperately attempted a choke to try and finish the fight, but as Cain shrugged him over, he dropped down and Velasquez landed a flurry which forced the referee to stop the fight.
Velasquez TKO at 3:09 of the fifth round, successfully defending his title for the second time.

I think both of them lost a little bit of their soul in this fight. Grueling, punishing and devastating damage throughout the fight for both fighters. They have never been the same since.

[@beewalk34]

Probably because they look like brothers...

Definitely they lost a lot of health during this fight.

Prime Cain was one of the most dominant fighters I’ve ever seen. His prime didn’t last long but it was great to see.

These guys were ahead of there time , great boxing , clinch work , & great wrestling. Great all around MMA heavyweight fight! These guys in there prime could’ve easily worked through the modern day division!

This trilogy was one of the best! These fights definitely took some years off both these dogs careers. Pure war!!

I’ll never forget this era of ufc

[@brunoprado2462]

indiscutivel a surra que o CIgano tomou, mas nunca pode se quesionar a capacidade que ele tem de absorver golpe. Pegou muito soco limpo de um peso pesado, diminuiu un 5 anos de vida nessa luta ai, foi guerreiro.

too boring fight. Velasquez has no skill, he only knows how to grab and take the opponent to the grid.

One of the best trilogies in my opinion

[@tedcrocker6283]

Man I'll tell you what , that was a brutal matchup. I was hoping somebody was going to lose just to save the both of them. I bet Junior's head was swollen for two weeks. That man absorbed some serious punishment.

Take the injuries away cain would have been one of the best and is by far my favourite fighter

[@cyrilpierron1689]

Incroyable combat, jusqu'au bout......un grand respect au perdant car il s'est défoncés et a tenu extrêmement longtemps. Mais dès le début du combat, par sa façon de se tenir et de se battre je savais qu'il perdrait, mais je pensais que ce serait par K.O et que donc ce serait court.....je ne m'attendais pas à une défaite aussi "glorieuse" façon 1er rocky !!!

[@SALTER818]

0:57 I remember vividly, it was as if Cain said fuck let's go head up, no fear, great psychology as well

[@bobcougar77]

Heavyweight fights are just crazy how different they are than the lighter weight classes. Fighting with elephant guns.

[@KinnereyB]

Who still owns Affliction era shirts 🤚🏼 And damn I miss prime “cardio” Cain. In a short time span he rightly put himself in the convo for best HW ever. Phenomenal performance

[@jigga4343]

I really liked Cain's fighting style. Wrestling plays a huge part but he's basically forcing knife stab range all the time and looking to land blows instead of securing anything. With his body build and his reach it really felt like a style that was made for him.

[@oscarnoesanchez6777]
