Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva
UFC.com
Cain Velasquez is on his way toward putting together one of the more impressive heavyweight resumes in MMA history, but he's still missing that successful title defense needed to cement him among the greats.
Against an opponent he's already beaten in Antonio Silva, Velasquez will have a great opportunity to improve his legacy at UFC 160.
Silva offered nothing against Velasquez in their first meeting, so it's hard to see how this matchup could play out much differently only 12 months later. Silva's recent knockout win over Alistair Overeem was impressive, but it seemed to be more a product of his opponent's overconfidence than significant technical improvement on Silva's end.
As he did the first time around, Velasquez will look to take Silva to the ground and expose the Brazilian as a jiu-jitsu black belt who is only really such when he's on top.
