ANAHEIM - It's probably not what the UFC and Fox were looking for at the start of their partnership, but you can't control what happens in the Octagon.
Junior dos Santos landed a huge overhand right on the side Cain Velasquez's head, and the fight was over seconds later. Just like that, JDS took the UFC heavyweight title on Fox at the 1:04 mark of the first at the Honda Center.
"I have no words to say how I'm feeling. It's amazing, my life," said a very emotional dos Santos."I have a lot of good people around me."
A minute after the finish of the fight, Velasquez was walking around and had his senses about him. That's the downside of MMA. There is no 10 count. If you go down and the opponent pounds on you, the referee has to stop it. Velasquez hit the deck and wasn't defending himself. Referee John McCarthy halted the fight after 12 more shots from dos Santos. Nos. 10 and 11 caused Velasquez to turn to his side, cover up and stop fighting back.
"He messed up my equilibrium. It was a good shot. He has good power," Velasquez said. "I waited too long to go after him."
During the leadup to the fight, the very pro-Mexican crowd was backing Velasquez.
"I just want to say sorry to all the fans, my family and friends. I disappointed you," Velasquez said. "I will come back and I will get this belt back."
