Not even Junior Gypsy disagrees that it was dominated, again, by Cain Velazquez in the main fight from UFC 166, this Saturday (19). After being defeated in the heavyweight title fight, still in the octagon, Cigano recognized his opponent's superiority in combat and promised to work to return and face him in the future.

“I was fine, very fine, for the fight. But he's very... What am I going to say? He beat me up. And that. That is what happened. He did a great job, congratulations to him. Now I'm going to go back home and train hard to face him again”, said the Brazilian to Joe Rogan, Ultimate's official commentator.
at the closing of trilogy for the heavyweight belt, this Saturday (19), Cain Velazquez beat Junior “Cigano” dos Santos by technical knockout in the fifth round. With the triumph, Velasquez maintained the division title and guaranteed an advantage of two wins to one over his rival in the direct confrontation.

This gypsy is only big enough, but he can't take a beating
Take one and you're already staggering, you don't know how to vary your punches, you just stick with this little punch with your right and left, go train, because then you won't gain anything anymore.
I think you criticize because it's very easy to do that, I want to see you have the same conscience to applaud the guy's efforts or do you think he's soft if he takes a punch from a heavyweight. We must value and respect our idols (athletes), because if the guy wins he is a hero if he loses he is an asshole it is easy to sit and criticize I doubt they have the same attitude with the politicians in their city...
Hey man, stop being an idiot, if you watch the whole fight you will see that there is no one who can take more beatings than the gypsy, Brock Lesnar, who is twice his size, took the hit and then fell, the difference is that the gypsy just resorts to boxing and velasques is more complete, if the gypsy had other qualifications(thay, wrestling) he could certainly win
J. Gypsy looks like he's turned into a girl, in fact it's not even that much a girl maybe wouldn't put her head down to be beaten, gypsy completely inferior and unprepared for the fight, man who were you, a super athlete to a loser, really and psychologically prepare yourself for the next challenge between you.
Cain Velasquez is the best without this….
CAIM VELASQUES SHOWN THAT HE IS A MORE COMPLETE FIGHTER THAN GYPSY, HE WAS MORE PREPARED TO WIN THE FIGHT BUT IN A FIGHT THERE IS NO INVINCIBLE FIGHTER
Was this the guy who signed a contract with Corinthians?
The beating is explained!!! hahaha
Shame, he took the first blow and was scared until the end of the fight
Get out of this Gypsy. We want Werdum now.. and more intelligent
SAYING THAT GYPSY HAS A BLACK BELT IN JIU JITSU IS A JOKE, HE HAS BOXING AS A STRENGTH AND EVEN LEAVES A LOT OF DESIRES, HE WILL HAVE TO TRAIN A LOT TO BECOME CHAMPION AGAIN.
I don't know how he didn't say it was marmalade like Anderson Silva.
Velasquez's great superiority is clear, he is excellent in all aspects. On the other hand, the evolution of Cigano cannot be denied either. I watched the entire fight and realized that Cain only managed to stay mounted once, despite having tried several times. In all other attempts, Cigano defended himself well. To conclude, I believe that at the moment, the only one who could beat Cain goes by the name of Jon Jones.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, jon jones doesn't have a chance.
Júnior Cigano was “hard to fall” but it wasn’t enough to take the belt…!!! It wasn’t this time…
Cigano is a good guy, but that doesn't win fights. Everything suggests that the first fight he had with Cain was luck. The guy is complete... he's an opponent to be beaten
Cigano did not have the physical conditions to face a determined fighter like Velasquez. He didn't prepare properly. His team demonstrated that they were not capable of preparing him. Even if he was prepared, the Mexican is technically and psychologically superior. So it was a beating for Cigano to put himself in his rightful place.
I think that to overthrow the Mexican Velasquez only if Fedor Emelianenko returns, these Brazilians have nothing. What a shame because we even have some good ones like Anderson Silva, but he's a dirty mercenary
Cigano, he's the best heavyweight I've ever seen fight. You will reign in the category, because when you win it was very lucky for you. He's even better in the box, please be more humble, because the guy is a monster.
Summarizing Cigano: Loose, very weak, bloodless, sick, cowardly, to win Velasques needs much more. You can retire Cigano, now it's Werdum's turn, he has blood in his veins
In Cigano's first UFC fight, he ended Werdun's life, knockout! One of the most beautiful in UFC history is always on, you should watch it…. Cigano lost the fight because he was inferior to Cain and that's it, someone loses and someone wins! They should make better comments instead of criticizing an athlete who, after losing 2 fights to the same opponent, is still in second place among the heavyweights!
Cigano is so psychologically weak that he was so blank that he couldn't even raise his guard to defend himself, losing is part of a fighter's career, but the way it happened makes it clear that he only won the first fight because Cain was suffering from an injury. .
Cigano is a mess and he made me turn off the combat channel in the previous fight, so, Mr. Dana White, if you're looking for so much money, throw Cigano away.
It's very easy to sit and criticize J.Cigano, I want to see you have the courage to send a positive message to the guy, or face with the same courage the challenges that the guy faces, we have to respect our idols (athletes) more, the final defeat makes part of the sport. What we should really do is criticize our politicians and forcefully demand unfulfilled promises. They promise a lot and do nothing, and this interferes in everyone's lives...
