UFC 166 takes place on Saturday night in one of the most eagerly anticipated Ultimate Fighting Championship match ups of the year, with the main event being Cain Velasquez vs Junior dos Santos. Online preliminaries will start at 6 p.m. ET, with regular preliminaries starting from 8 p.m. ET.In the main event, UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will defend his title against Junior dos Santos. Roy Nelson will square off against Daniel Cormier in the co-main event.Seeing that the first fight ended with dos Santos rocking Velasquez in little more than one minute to win the title, and the second fight was vastly different with Velasquez pummeling dos Santos in his own game and utilizing takedowns, too, this fight could not be more of a toss up to call. Though fighting at heavyweight on Saturday, Daniel Cormier is expected to move to 205 pounds in his next outing. An impressive win over Roy Nelson at UFC 166 could position Cormier for a quick shot at the light heavyweight strap.On the heels of a controversial loss to then-champion Benson Henderson, Gilbert Melendez will try to jump back into the title hunt Saturday. Standing between the former Strikeforce champion and another shot at the belt will be fellow former title challenger Diego Sanchez.
