Junior dos Santos is excited to compete on Netflix's first MMA card against Robelis Despaigne, highlighting the clash of their fighting styles.
In the main event, then heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez looked unstoppable after a 12-1 run that had seen him throttle the likes of Brock Lesnar, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Ben Rothwell, and others en route to being promoted as the next generation of MMA heavyweight. Opposing him that night: Junior dos Santos, the Brazilian knockout machine who had carved his own path of destruction through the division with wins over Fabricio Werdum, Frank Mir, Mark Hunt, and others.
