My Prediction: Dos Santos by TKO 3rd Round
My Rating: $$$$What Happened: As said by Dana White no matter how long this fight lasts we would be in for a great one and he was right. The fighters traded some punches early and Dos Santos threw a kick that Cain caught and briefly seemed he would get this fight to the ground. But the Brazilian was able to escape and moments later he landed his powerful right hand right on Cain's ear that sent the champ to the mat dazed. Junior pounced on Cain with some follow up punches to seal the deal and become the new UFC Heavyweight champion. Hard to describe anymore of what happened in a 64 second fight we all knew with the power both fighters have an outcome like this was very likely. The casual fan tuning into the UFC for the first time didn't get to see a great battle that displayed all disiplines of MMA like the Henderson and Guida bout had (well in Canada it was aired but that's another story) but what they did get to see is how unpredictable MMA is. Juniors overwhelming emotion and Cain's disappointment really showed the character of what MMA is all about and how in a blink of an eye lifes can change.
