UFC 160: Velasquez vs Bigfoot 2

Cain Velasquez returns as the champion to prove that he once again can be the best in the world. But standing in his way once again is Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. Cain Velasquez coming off his big wins over Bigfoot Silva and the champion in Junior dos Santos to reclaim his belt. Where as Bigfoot is coming of 2 big victories, including once undefeated Travis Browne and in a huge upset over Strikeforce and K-1 champion Alistair Overeem.

They are set to meet again for a heavyweight contest for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

And for the co-main event we have a great striking battle in the former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and the former K-1 champion and PRIDE FC veteran and modern day cinderella man, Mark "Super Samoan" Hunt. A true test in striking to find out who could be next for the title.

And for a battle of Light Heavyweights we have the Brazilian sensation in Glover Teixeira taking on an Australian contender in James Te Huna.

And to start out the Pay Per View Night we have 2 Lightweight matches starting with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone vs a man making his UFC debut KJ Noons, and after that 2 top 10 contenders in TJ Grant and Gray "The Bully" Maynard will battle it out to see where they stand in the Lightweight Division.

A great night of fights for a great main card along with a must watch prelims.

Make your predictions and enjoy a great night of fights for the UFC Heavyweight Championship

Highlights of UFC 160 for me were Cowboy getting the win, JDS knocking out Hunt and TJ Grant destroying Maynard. I think Grant will give Benson a better fight then Maynard would have. Can't wait to see it.

The whole card aside from the Thompson fight was very good. 

Great card, with almost no bad fights. Can't wait to see TJ Grant fight Henderson and take that belt back to Nova Scotia.

Excellent card ... excellent score by me :) My two underdogs, Grant and Pyle, paid off.

The biggest surprises for me last night was TJ Grant knocking out Gray Maynard, and JDS' spinning wheel kick.

I knew that TJ Grant was a good grappler, and that thus far, 155 had been a better fit for him, but to see him KTFO Gray Maynard was something that I never would've expected from Grant. He really showed me just how well rounded he truly is, and that if necessary he can finish a fighter anywhere the fight takes place.

JDS really showed a very well-rounded, patient, balanced, and versatile attack last night, and I really saw a great deal of improvement in his cardio. Usually JDS is gassed out by the 3rd round and is usually surviving on instinct at that point, but last night he was collected, lucid, and dangerous. This is also the 2nd event in a row that we've seen a finish started by a spinning wheel kick by a Brazilian. Which makes me ask the question, "What is it with Brazilians and spinning wheel kicks." Ever since Edson Barboza did it to Terry Etim, it's been a popular technique from a few Brazilian fighters.

I didn't agree with the Mike Pyle/Rick Story decision nor the Dennis Bermudez/Max Holloway decision. At first I didn't agree with the Thompson/Burrell decision, but after watching the fight a couple more times, it was just a close fight that could've gone either way. If anything, that just proves more and more that you can't leave a fight in the hands of the judges.

Probably the biggest upset of the night was George Roop not just defeating Brian Bowles, but defeating Brian Bowles by KO. That's definitely the upset of the year right there.

Two things I learned from 160.  If Pyle has a mullet he wins.  And for me to stop ******* picking against Roop.

oops. wrong thread.

Cain vs JDS VI Junior tries to get the belt back from Cain for the 5th time. 

I seriously think Cain and Junior should just wait one more title fight.

I think you guys should read this.

Best Heavyweight fight in UFC History? Kongo/Barry still has my vote.

Kongo/Barris had what was perhaps the funniest ending of all times. But it wasn't exactly technical, and to be honest, Kongo's standup game has never translated really well into MMA.

About Fedor/Crocop: it ruled, everyone will say it ruled, it might be the best HW fight of all times, but it wasn't in the UFC (read the article's title again).

I really liked Randy Couture vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
But JDS vs Hunt is for sure a top 4 UFC Heavyweight fight

Dos santos vs Hunt was every MMA fanboys wet dream was, and more!
