UFC 166: Velasquez vs. dos Santos III was a mixed martial arts event held on October 19, 2013, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
The main event was a UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion Cain Velasquez and top contender Junior dos Santos. The two have split their two previous encounters with Dos Santos winning the first bout via first-round knockout at UFC on Fox: Velasquez vs. dos Santos and then Velasquez winning the rematch via unanimous decision at UFC 155.
The bout almost lasted the full 25 minutes. The challenger had his moments where he looked to have hurt the champion, but for the most part, it was Velasquez implementing an excellent game plan which wore down Dos Santos until he managed to secure a finish late in the 5th round. Although Velasquez managed to take Dos Santos down a few times, he once again had a hard time keeping his rival down on the ground. This also happened during the second fight, but a great adjustment was made and Cain was instead able to implement an effective ‘wall-n-maul’ strategy for the majority of this bout. For the majority of the contest, Cain closed the distance and pushed Junior up the fence, constantly landing knee strikes and dirty boxing which wore down his opponent.
He effectively neutralized Dos Santos’ boxing as he never gave him room to breathe, and it left the challenger to attempt very few elbow strikes from the clinch. He wasn’t really able to reverse the position for most of the contest, and Cain continued to pile on with small shots that took their toll.
In the third round, Velasquez came really close to securing a finish after landing a big right hand. He dropped Junior twice that round, and Herb Dean almost stopped the contest when Cain was going in for the kill. Dos Santos was able to survive, but the following rounds it still went the same way. Velasquez continued with his effective strategy until he was able to completely wear down Dos Santos in the 5th. Junior desperately attempted a choke to try and finish the fight, but as Cain shrugged him over, he dropped down and Velasquez landed a flurry which forced the referee to stop the fight.
Velasquez TKO at 3:09 of the fifth round, successfully defending his title for the second time.
Cain had the weight of our entire Raza on his shoulders and he made us proud !! JDS was an absolute warrior both men are to be respected!
What do u mean by "Raza"?
He kept hugging him like a 🏳️🌈 😂😂 go back to Mexico clown
Prime Cain was one of the most dominant fighters I’ve ever seen. His prime didn’t last long but it was great to see.
Large fighters sustain worse injuries longer to recover mass times wheight = force
Qq
@@georgebrothers5059 ok😊
Junior Dos Santos was clearly on steroids and Cain fucked him up.
The Brock Fight was really it
I think both of them lost a little bit of their soul in this fight. Grueling, punishing and devastating damage throughout the fight for both fighters. They have never been the same since.
Probably because they look like brothers...
@@beewalk34uhh...
Definitely they lost a lot of health during this fight.
Both legendary warriors….
Best reply
This trilogy was one of the best! These fights definitely took some years off both these dogs careers. Pure war!!
Que pelea más chingona. Grande Caín Velázquez El Orgullo Mexicano 🤠🇲🇽🦅👑
Che pendejillo
Cains ability to keep pushing through the whole fight is insane . His cardio was out of this world
Todo un guerrero Cain Velázquez, orgullo mexicano
These guys were ahead of there time , great boxing , clinch work , & great wrestling. Great all around MMA heavyweight fight! These guys in there prime could’ve easily worked through the modern day division!
I’ll never forget this era of ufc
JDS was so good But healthy Cain was not human These fights took a lot years from these guys especially JDS
indiscutivel a surra que o CIgano tomou, mas nunca pode se quesionar a capacidade que ele tem de absorver golpe. Pegou muito soco limpo de um peso pesado, diminuiu un 5 anos de vida nessa luta ai, foi guerreiro.
I wish we could've seen Prime Cain vs Jon Jones
Sea level Cain was one mythical creature.
CAIN WAS A STRAIGHT WARRIOR A BEAST
Velasquez remains my all time favourite fighter 🫀🫀🫀🫀🙂
too boring fight. Velasquez has no skill, he only knows how to grab and take the opponent to the grid.
Jr still knocked him out rd1
No grappling for get about it 😮
Dos Santos never been a same after this fight
Cain too, both took a lot of damage and were done after this triology.
@@jutjub22 Cain had back problems before and later on his knees gave up...common problems most wrestlers has...cigano lost his mentality
@@thulsadoom7781 True, but look how many shots Cain took too in those 3 fights, a lot of damage. Francis knocked him down with short shot easily.
One of the best trilogies of all combat sports ever , respect both of this guys very much
Caun velazquez sin duda el mejor ufc peleador
Cain Velasquez tem técnica na trocação e resistência, mesmo cansado ele aplicava chutes sobre o seu bravo adversário Júnior dos Santos.
Prime Cain was unstoppable
Cigano and Werdum stopped him .
Joe was so one sided on this fight😂 man praised every little move by junior and barely praised Cain who was doing the most
That just proves cain's greatness even more.
Because of this kind of fighters UFC became the monster is now,Dana you should be a little more grateful with this and other fighters
The 2 best heavyweights at that time. They both shortened each other's careers with absolute war.
Every time I watch this Man fight, it brings a giant smile on my face.
Prime cain was the scariest HW
Al más puro estilo mexicano caín Velasquez un gran guerrero azteca
🤡
Cain in his prime, was unbeatable. This job is intended for genuine men.
THESE A MEXICAN AZTEC WARRIOR 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👍👍👍
Che putio kept hugging like a 🏳️🌈
This the best trilogy in my heart! Respect from Russia! CV and JDS 💪🤜🤛
Mexican Pride 🇲🇽
Man I'll tell you what , that was a brutal matchup. I was hoping somebody was going to lose just to save the both of them. I bet Junior's head was swollen for two weeks. That man absorbed some serious punishment.
He piss blood after this fight
Now this is the ufc we all miss
MAS QUE VISTO. NO NECESITAS GRANDES MÚSCULOS PARA DERRIBAR UNA MONTAÑA " MAÑANA Y ESTRATEGIA" LO LLEVAMOS EN LA SANGRE LOS MEXICANOS 💪🏼🇲🇽
Big hearts both of them, but Cain won this time. What an fight.
Cain Velasquez is the best ever Champ ufc
Cain your the BEST I am your fan since approximately 1998
Badass. Two warriors giving all they had.
What a great fight these guys put every ounce of fight they had. Well done
He fights like a heavyweight khabib, it's sad he had so many injuries through out his career
One of the best trilogies in my opinion
Junior was never the same after this fight
Life changing.
one of the bestest fight of ufc history I am impressed with santos chin wowwww
A human who can go this hard doesnt last long w all their faculties. Crazy
Junior looks like your 23 year old uncle who is 65
warriors. respect
The uncalled for editing making me feel like I got knocked out during this fight. I'm watching the unedited version ...
Who still owns Affliction era shirts 🤚🏼 And damn I miss prime “cardio” Cain. In a short time span he rightly put himself in the convo for best HW ever. Phenomenal performance
Take the injuries away cain would have been one of the best and is by far my favourite fighter
Heavyweight fights are just crazy how different they are than the lighter weight classes. Fighting with elephant guns.
Best fight ever
Prime Cain Velasquez was unstoppable aint no way nobody beating him It's just non stop pressure dude had 100% stamina plus ko power In my opinion his definitely the best heavyweight champion of all time.
Caindo Velásquez um dos lutadores mais agressivos q vi tem meu respeito 😊
Correção gente cain Velásquez
Watching this battle l realize that Cain was the best heavyweight of all time, in addition he didn't duck JDS when he was the Boogeyman of that division ➗ kudos to him however, we all know that this trilogy destroyed these warriors 😭. Without them heavyweight division is stuck.
I really liked Cain's fighting style. Wrestling plays a huge part but he's basically forcing knife stab range all the time and looking to land blows instead of securing anything. With his body build and his reach it really felt like a style that was made for him.
Good lord. Those knees to the thighs and abdomen that Velasquez was delivering while they were in the clinch. I can't imagine taking shots like that and ever being able to walk again... What a savage fight.
0:57 I remember vividly, it was as if Cain said fuck let's go head up, no fear, great psychology as well
После этой трилогии они стали совсем другими бойцами... сколько же здоровья они там оставили...
Eso Caín 🇲🇽
Cain was a freaking animal in his prime,him & Fredor in his prime are the 2 best UFC fighters of all time
Cain one big mexican warrior this fight one war
I think Dos Santos and Tony Ferguson are the only two fighters I feel terrible watching them take terrible beatings
Glover Teixeira is another one for me
The 90’s and through 2008 and 10 were the best fights. Pride was definitely the best.
Back when heavyweight fights used to be long and skilled. Now heavyweight sucks, they rely on KO power, and have sh*t stamina.
Бой на века, две легенды!
The chin on junior was legendary two warriors collide on must fall! Great fight!
Dios bendiga a Caine velazquez, por todo lo que le paso a su niño, el solo defendió su casa😢1/12/24
Что случилось ?
Herb coulda stopped it early but he wanted to keep watching 😂
Dammmm dos santos had serious 💜 tho he kept getting up I was doubting Cain could even win
Incroyable combat, jusqu'au bout......un grand respect au perdant car il s'est défoncés et a tenu extrêmement longtemps. Mais dès le début du combat, par sa façon de se tenir et de se battre je savais qu'il perdrait, mais je pensais que ce serait par K.O et que donc ce serait court.....je ne m'attendais pas à une défaite aussi "glorieuse" façon 1er rocky !!!
Junior has so much ❤️ and Cain wow
Caín hizo trizas a un campeón como Junior y fue para México una victoria muy impresionante es un orgullo que traiga sangre azteca y fue uno de los mejores 5 pesos completos de la UFC........ Saludos!!
Dua petarung yg layak jdi juara tidak sombong dan sdrhana ❤
The most exciting HW fights ever, imo
Cain could’ve been the only man for Jon Jones his kryptonite
Nope, Jones too damn good. Too skilled, too fast.
@@stephenbanks5860 🧢
DOS Santos has always been one of the very very best fighters. This time it wasn't his day. Don't take away his greatness just because he lost this time. Yes Cain was brutal and he was superb in this fight. Everyone has his good and bad day. Both, Cain Velasquez and Junior DOS Santos are two monsters of the ring, and worthy of equal respect and admiration.
True. And the heart of jds is the heart of a champion absolute beast to take that kind of punishment. Cain, stipe, jds and fedor heavyweight goats.
Salió muy bravo dos Santos con sus intimidaciones, pero Cain le dio lo q realmente merecía!!!! Arriba México perrooooos!!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
viva eternal señor cain velasquez... soldier of heaven... the many prayers of the families who have lost children to the darkness are always with you in mind and soul
Cain Velazquez no a Muerto pendejo
Classic fight 💪🏽
Brutal win Cain!!!
5 rounds aguardando aquela patada do Cigano...excelente preparo físico do Caim, q gás...
Ai foi quando começou a época que o Cigano só lutava se encolhendo encostado na grade e apanhando, ja ñ era aquele lutador que andava p frente soltando bons golpes
Junior dos was brave
Cara, ques porrada véi. Umas das melhores lutas!
This was The end of prime Dos Santos. The elevation in Mexico City was the end of Cain. Why no one told him to prepare for that is beyond me. His high volume attack back fired. Verdum had a previous fight the year before plus 7 month stay before the fight vs Cains 1 to 2 weeks before fight. Cain drained out by the 3rd. Lack of oxygen
Prime cain vs jones would've been a fight
Jon is joke. Jon is afraid of fighting best fighter
Jon would smoke him
@taingindia234 you need attention, right ??
Definitely
If Jr would've started with the short elbows everytime Cain came in, it would've been a different fight. He started too late
Two of the best
Esse Júnior cigano na briga de rua se tá doido kkkk bate demais
That was like Griffin and Bonner... those guys aged a year per round of that war.😢
Have you seen Dos Santos right now when he fought in gamebred he looked all juiced up again junior is nothing without the juice
@ivanbustamante6011 Right!!! He's a specimen on supplements 😁
Pure heavyweights this was an era I was in HS around this time
Stipe is not the best heavyw8,, Cain is.
Fedor is... Even Cain admited
Fedor is easily and I'm not even a fan.
Stipe no1 in all parameters!
Cain is my hero.
Cain Velasquez era um monstro nesse tempo juiz deveria ter parado a luta antes cigano tava sem condições cambaleando deu foi pena nesse dia
Cain was a beast in his prime! He beat Junior when he was in his prime also! This was a epic clash as well as the 2nd fight!!!!
What a war.
Let Cain Finish that Molester. (Not JR)
Gosh...two beasts fr
Esta es de la mejores peleas que he visto en ufc cualquiera podia ganar!!!
Cain and khabib's fighting style is almost same, only diff is cain strikes and kicks and khabib first makes pressure on opponent then smash on ground and then start throwing punches. Khabib and cain's defence is almost same
They all come from same team AKA. Which is why you see similar wrestling styles, and striking. You are 💯 correct on your statement!
