Velasquez vs. JDS II? | UFC President "Likes The Idea" | UFC NEWS
With Overeem getting suspended for having an elevated T/E ratio, former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir filled the main event void tonight against Junior dos Santos and failed.
The once stacked heavyweight division has thinned out in contender depth and one man stood out amongst the rest tonight. That man was former champion Cain Velasquez.
Just one fight removed from his original showdown against Junior dos Santos, Cain was able to put himself right back in line for a title shot with his one-sided pounding of Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva this evening in the UFC 146 co-main event.
During the post-fight press conference UFC president Dana White shared the sentiment of many MMA fans and conceded that Cain Velasquez has likely earned his rematch against Junior dos Santos.
Will the fight get booked? It appears likely at this point, not only because Cain is deserving, but because there is no one else really worthy of throwing in there with the champ.

How about Hunt?
Wasn’t considered deserving with his current win streak, but even if he were, he’s injured. He was actually originally supposed to fight Struve tonight.
He doesn’t deserve shit. Big country will knock that cocky bastard out!! Roy vs Hunt!!
Outlaw ur a ****ing piece of shot go watch ur gay porn u fag.
lmao one of the best responses ever!
Damn sure got a few good chuckles outta me!
Is this a joke?
Cain got KO’d in 60 seconds by JDS an tonight he was dominate but a little short elbow made it look much much worse than it really was. If it wasn’t for the blood it woulda taken him longer to finish Bigfoot. Bigfoot sucks I don’t see how beating him gets u a rematch w/ someone that fn destroyed ya.
I think cains chin is suspect. He went for a take down 1 second into the fight w/ a guy who sucks at standup. I don’t think we’ll see Cain standing much anymore.
MC you don’t know shit or you just a hater, Cain didn’t go for a take down he just took advantage of that leg, kick learn MMA before you make a stupid comment like that,avoid make a fool of your self
Hunt sucks and will never be anything more than a low-level, midlle of the pack fighter.
Cain vs JDS II sounds great. I would love to see Josh Barnett vs Frank Mir. Mark Hunt vs Roy Nelson. Struve vs Tim Sylvia. Dan Hardy vs BJ Penn. Jamie Varner vs Diego Sanchez. Just throwing out some oddball undercards that seem entertaining.
Your a fcking moron. None of those fights make sense.. Go back to watching strikeforce and bellator because you don’t know shit!!
and you do?? lolz. How about you go back to the rock you crawled out from under. It misses you.
Outlaw shut the **** up u ugly looking pile of shit. Those were great match ups. Exciting fights if ur an MMA fan and dont enjoy this then go die u ****ing piece of shit.
surely as an mma fan you would watch all of these anyway????
dickneck
^^^ I actually like those fights
+1 especially Roy vs Hunt – that’d be a banger
Holy shit Cain was on beast mode tonight. The way he demolished Big Foot was more brutal than how he demolished Brock. I laughed so hard after the pre-fight video of Big Foot saying He’s a better striker, ground fighter and wrestler.
Cain has always been unreal. He got caught by the champ. He would have beat Mir too
raising cain!
that was a mayan bloodletting ritual.
i thought he was going to pull bigfoots heart out of his chest!
he was so pumped, he looked like he was in a trance when the ref stopped the fight.
total destruction.
you’re right, he would have done the same thing to mir.
blood bath.
that shit reminded me of bj vs joe stevenson. the ground and pound was beautiful. if cain took bigfoots back and rnc’d i would definitely say that he looks like bj penn fighting.
Easily some of the most blood I’ve seen during a fight! Cain was definitely in beast mode last nite!

Anybody can get caught behind the ear… And note, that shot didn’t KNOCK him out.
I wanna see hapa fight either mir, Nelson, hunt, or carwin next. He beats any 2 of those guys then I say hes next in line for a title shot after Cain.
nelson and hunt aint gonna get you titlt shots.
Hunt will never be the champ. And Cain will be the next one for the belt. Even though he has a gang tattoo across his chest

does he have a gang tattoo?
Hell no, it ain’t a gang tattoo, but u got some people who don’t know otherwise, so they just say whatever comes to mind…
It says Browne Pride you ignorant ****stick. How is that a gang tat?
I don’t know why my phone said Browne and not Brown.
I have seen alot of latin king memebers with brown pride tats
That doesn’t make it a gang tat
there’s an entire gang that goes by Brown Pride you ****ing dumb **** but that doesn’t necessarily mean Cain is part of it
Jds is keeping that belt get used to it and bk vs hunt would be a great fight!
Apparently ESPN is saying either Velasquez or Cormier should be JDS’s next fight.
Cain was brutal last night, and it’s hard to argue against a rematch with JDS. I would like to see JDS fight someone else in between, wish Overroid wasn’t such a douche because that would be great…..
Cormier should get a shot. It would be interesting to see him in the UFC.
I want to see Cormier in the UFC but I think he should have one fight before he gets a shot, maybe against Big Country or Cain with the winner getting a shot. I personally think Werdum should to be next in line for JDS.
I agree but if Cormier were to win it would put two teammates against each other, who train and learn from each other.
Strike force guys don’t seem to do well in the UFC it’s crazy.
Mir must be feeling pretty good right about now about facing junior instead of cain even though he got knocked out, Cain is just a scary dude but very humble and respectable just like dos santos. It was crazy how cain manhandled a guy 30 pounds heavier than him it was just pure domination, silva’s hands were as big as cains head.
Hardy vs Rory Mac!
man **** this fight. cain aint ready for jds yet. cain needs to fight atleast 1 or 2 more top dogs. it wasnt even that long ago when jds knocked his ass out. cain ****ed big foot up in dramatic fashion. but thats the same old cain vs bigfoot slow ass with his weak chin.
Who are the 1 or 2 top dogs that you feel are ahead of Cain in the rankings? Overroid is out for a year mind you. Cormier and Barnet aren’t signed to UFC yet. In my opinion Cain is the top contender.
whoever said Tim Sylvia vs….anyone, is stupid. Tim Sylvia sucks and shoulda retired before he tarnished what rep he had left.
Does Big County not want a shot at the title?
no the winner of Cain and bigfoot got the next shot.
I can’t wait for Cain to fight JDS again and take him down and turn him into a bitch. **** brazil they have enough titles as it is.
