WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog with a preview of Saturday’s UFC debut on FOX – featuring the blockbuster UFC Heavyweight title match between Cain Velasquez and challenger Junior Dos Santos.
Ross, an avid MMA fan, picks Cain Velasquez to retain the gold this Saturday night.
Some interesting points Ross brought up about the fight:
– Neither man has ever been knocked down in a UFC fight.
– Combined, both men has spent less than sixty seconds on their back in a UFC fight.
– Dos Santos has never been taken down in a UFC contest.
– Cain is 15 of 22 in take down attempts.
Jim Ross’ “Keys to the Fight” – Cain’s striking defense, Junior’s takedown defense, and, with it scheduled for 5 rounds, cardio conditioning which likely favors the Champion.
Ross also talked about former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar being part of Saturday night’s broadcast – which has seemingly been kept an under promoted secret for some unknown reason. Ross questions UFC’s decision to not hype Lesnar more, “Lesnar still equals TV ratings and he likely has more main stream name identity than either Velasquez or Dos Santos.”
