Junior Dos Santos wants Cain Velasquez next
Posted on March 23, 2010, 05:15 PM by Rory KernaghanFollowing a convincing first round knock out of fellow Brazilian Gabriel Gonzaga, Junior Dos Santos has said he feels ready for the title shot. Although considering the current standings in the HW division Dos Santos is considering a more realistic prospect of facing Cain Velasquez. Here is what JDS had to say on the situation;
'I don't know who I'm going to fight next, I'd like to fight Velasquez. He's a tough guy, but the UFC has other great names too. I just want to fight against the best and with the best, and that's what I'm wanting from the UFC now. Velasquez is a very complete guy. His wrestling is superior, but I think I can surprise him with striking. I'd train a lot of ground game for this fight too, It could make some difference.'
So with the best HW division in the world right now the UFC is going to have some great match-ups in the near future. Dos Santos vs Velasquez would be one of the best, in my opinion, an explosive exciting match up that would give us another clear contender for the title. Saying that though, the UFC may have some issues concerning this bout due to the fact that Cain might already be in the light for the title shot if the winner of Mir vs Carwin is too banged up.
However this situation turns out I'm sure that eventually we will get to see Velasquez vs Dos Santos, a mouth watering match up that I certainly would like to see. UFC president Dana White had this to say on the situation;
'They're all going to fight, all these guys in that line-up are going to fight, but we've got to figure out how it's all going to go down. Mir and Carwin are going to get this thing started. We'll see what happens there, and the great thing is we're only a week away from that.'
So we will get some answers about who will fight who after this weekend's UFC 111 event.

A really obvious match up I think, they are both looking almost unstoppable atm and Cain just beat Santos mentor.
revenge???? i think cain will still win this one- if he is not doing good standing he can just take him down
and he has a good chin this has protential for fight of the year writen all over it,guarantee fireworks!!! ☆
dont forget that dos santos have good takedown defence and awesome standup
im sure cains wrestling is better than his takedown defense no doubt
Both fighters are definitely improving with every fight but I think Cain is gonna take this one. This should be very interesting...
I have more faith in Cain in this fight. They're both super fighters but Cain utilizes his legs more in fights and I'm pretty sure Santos won't get him down on his back.
yeah this is going to be off the hook,joe silva make this happen
cain could not ko congo and he will not ko jds.if jds caught him with on punch the fight will end...
ITS A BIIINGOOOOOOO!!!!! as Col. Hans Landa would say in Inglorious Basterds...
Now this promisses fireworks, and I can't wait for this one, and all the other HW fights in 2010 for that matter. Ive never seen a HW get up from the ground as fast and explosively as JDS. They're both very fast. WOAW!!!!!! This has 'Knockout of the night' written all over it!
JDS by way of devastating KO rnd ONE! YEAH!!!!
I fight that I would love to see. Both are very explosive, and hard hitting fighters.
here will stop dos santos fantasy..
cain will stop the dreamboy..
i really want to see this fight happens
This is exactly why a legitimate ranking system is needed. If we had that there would be no confusion about where people stand in line for a title shot.
i always say bad stuff this is the fight i wana see in UFC i think Cain and JDS are better fighters than Brock and Carwin
