Junior dos Santos
"This fight is going to be my toughest fight ever because I think Cain Velasquez is the number-one Heavyweight right now. So, it's going to be a tough fight, but I will be ready for him. I think Cain Velasquez is a very complete fighter. He's got good stand-up skills, good jiu-jitsu, but i think what he's got best is his cardio. His cardio is very, very good for a Heavyweight.
I think if Cain wants to fight standing with me, it's going to be a great fight, because he has good speed, good footwork - pretty good skills fighting stand-up. But, man, I believe so much in me fighting stand-up and I think that's my area. Someone's going to get knocked out and I think he has more of a chance to get knocked out than me. I will be ready to fight, it doesn't matter where, on the ground, on my feet, it doesn't matter where."

Hej! Both guys are really nice persons.
And besides that I like Dos Santos, I give an advantage to Cain because of his wrestling skillset. Thats the Key of the figth and a minus for Dos Santos's game.
Cigano is going to kill cain standing up...Cain's only chance is wrestling!!!!!if he doesnt take cigano down its going to be carwin all over again!!!!!
Both great fighters but JDS is way more humble. Cain's "brown pride" thing is getting a little out of hand. He does live in the U.S. after all.
Because where you live should determine where your from and the amount of patriotism your allowed to have right?
a lot of other brown people live in the U.S...don't get ´me wrong. I'm not into national pride at all. noone has a influence on their place of birth so why be proud of it...? but where is the point mentioning that cain is living in the u.s. (a place as multicultural as it gets)?
also, you're* before some 12 year old turd comments on that
Cain might be the best striker JDS has faced. A lot better than Juniors last two opponents Nelson & Carwin.
