UFC 166 is going to be a HUGE night for the UFC Heavyweight division with the final chapter of the Velasquez-Dos Santos saga scheduled for tomorrow night at 10pm eastern time. Velasquez and Dos Santos have exchanged the UFC title between the two of them over the last two years. Tomorrow night only one man can leave as the UFC Heavyweight Champion. In October of 2010, Cain Velasquez defeated Brock Lesnar to gain the UFC Heavyweight Championship. A year later in the same city where he won the title, a hungry Junior Dos Santos came in and took the title from Velasquez in his first match after winning the title. A year later the UFC granted Velasquez the opportunity to prove that his title win was not a fluke and Cain Velasquez did more than deliver in the rematch in which he strategically dismantled Dos Santos for 25 whole minutes. After that meeting last year, Junior Dos Santos took on and knocked out fan favorite Mark Hunt, which earned him another chance to face Velasquez. If this match turns out to be everything that it could be, then we are in for a real treat. The question becomes, will it be Dos Santos' power punching or Velasquez's cerebral approach that will win the fight?
