Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-02-17, disappointing fight between
Francis Ngannou and Cain Velasquez: it gets two stars.
Francis Ngannou entered this fight with a pro record of 12-3-0 (100% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.3 heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Daniel Cormier) but he lost two out of his last three fights, against Stipe Miocic (Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou) and Derrick Lewis (Francis Ngannou vs Derrick Lewis); after this bout he has beat Curtis Blaydes in their rematch (Curtis Blaydes vs Francis Ngannou 2).
His opponent, the black belt in Bjj and former Ufc champion Cain Velasquez, has an official mma record of 14-2-0 (86% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since July 9, 2016 when he defeated Travis Browne (Cain Velasquez vs Travis Browne); before this bout, in 2015, he had lost to Fabricio Werdum (Cain Velasquez vs Fabricio Werdum). Ngannou vs Velasquez is the main event of UFC on ESPN 1. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-07-09, nice exchanges between
Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne: it gets three stars (UFC Performance of the Night).
The black belt in Bjj and former Ufc champion Cain Velasquez entered this fight with a professional record of 13-2-0 (85% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he is ranked as the No.4 heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Stipe Miocic). He fought just once in the last two years losing the Ufc Hw title against Fabrício Werdum (=Velasquez vs Werdum).
His opponent, Travis Browne, has a mma record of 18-3-1 (89% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.8 in the same weight class. He lost to Andrei Arlovski in 2015 (=Arlovski vs Browne) but he came back to win in 2016 defeating Matt Mitrione (=Browne vs Mitrione). Velasquez vs Browne is on the undercard of Miesha Tate vs Amanda Nunes – UFC 200. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-06-13, aggressive start, tough exchanges and great finish:
Cain Velasquez vs Fabricio Werdum is close to get four stars (UFC Performance of the Night).
The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Ufc Hw champion Cain Velasquez entered this fight with a professional mma record of 13-1-0 (85% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since October 19, 2013 when he defeated Junior dos Santos (in their third fight, Velasquez vs dos Santos 3); after some month he underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus. His only loss occurred in 2011 when he faced for the first time ‘Cigano’ dos Santos (=Dos Santos vs Velasquez) but then he beat twice Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva and JDS.
His opponent, the black belt in Bjj and judo Fabricio Werdum, has an official record of 19-5-1 (79% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world. ‘Vai Cavalo’ Werdum suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced Alistair Overeem (=Overeem vs Werdum), since then he has collected five consecutive victories winning the interim Ufc Hw title in his last bout, against Mark Hunt (=Werdum vs Hunt). Velasquez vs Werdum, main event of Ufc 188, is valid for the Ufc heavyweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2013-10-19, great fight with some tough exchanges, we are sure they will face each other in the future…two real warriors: the third fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos gets three stars. Cain Velasquez (12-1-0, 83% ko/tko victories – curiously he has never won by submission) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Junior dos Santos (16-2-0, 88% finishing rate) entered as the No.2. In their first fight ‘Cigano’ dos Santos defeated Velasquez by ko (November 12, 2011) while in their second bout Cain defeated JDS by unanimous decision (December 29, 2012); this third fight, main event of UFC 166, is valid for the UFC heavyweight title (Velasquez’s second defense). Watch the video!
Review: 2013-05-25, pretty good fight between Cain Velasquez and Antonio ‘Pezao’ Silva but it is not enough to get three stars. Cain Velasquez (11-1-0, 82% finishing rate – curiously he has never won by submission) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva (18-4-0, 89% finishing rate) entered as the No.4. In their first fight Velasquez defeated ‘Bigfoot’ Silva by TKO in the first round (May 26, 2012); this second fight is valid for the UFC heavyweight title, main event of UFC 160. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-12-29, after watching the rematch between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez a second time, we give it three stars but it was close to get four since the first two rounds were very exciting thanks to a great pace and one knockdown, but in the following rounds the pace slows down and they are not as active as at the beginning; we would like to see a third fight very soon but we also know that Alistair Overeem is waiting for the UFC belt… Junior dos Santos (15-1-0) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Cain Velasquez (10-1-0) entered as the No.2. In their first fight JDS defeated Velasquez by ko (November 12, 2011); ‘Cigano’ dos Santos vs Velasquez 2 is valid for the UFC Heavyweight title (dos Santos’ second defense), main event of UFC 155. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-05-26, blood fight with some nice elbows but it is not enough to get three stars: Cain Velasquez vs Antonio Silva ended by TKO in the first round. Cain Velasquez (9-1-0) entered as the No.3 heavyweight in the world while Antonio “Big Foot” Silva (16-3-0) entered as the No.7. Velasquez vs Silva is on the undercard of Junior Dos Santos vs Frank Mir (Ufc 146); a second fight between Velasquez and Silva is scheduled on May 25, 2013. Rate the video!
Review: 2011-11-12, Junior dos Santos surprises everyone beating the undefeated Velasquez in just 1 minute (one of the best ko’s of the year). Cain Velasquez (9-0-0) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Junior dos Santos (13-1-0) entered as the No.2. Dos Santos earned the night’s “Knockout of the Night” award and won the UFC Heavyweight Championship (main event of the “UFC on Fox”). Watch the video!
