After a brief hiatus to enjoy the Christmas holiday, the Octagon comes storming back this Saturday with one of the most anticipated heavyweight rematches in UFC history.
Reigning champion Junior dos Santos (Pictured) looks to solidify his status as the division’s top dog by going up 2-0 against Cain Velasquez, the man he knocked out in 64 seconds last November to capture the crown.
The 265-pound sequel isn’t the only fight on deck. The 11 other bouts that will appear in this weekend’s lineup have finally been confirmed.
The UFC’s Facebook page kicks things off by streaming the night’s first three scraps live starting at approximately 6:35PM ET/3:35PM PT. FX will then air the remaining four prelims at 8PM ET/5PM PT.
The pay-per-view broadcast begins immediately after the freebie fights at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
