UFC on Fox 1: Velasquez vs. Dos Santos – Anaheim, Calif.
– Honda Center - Nov. 12, 2011
Junior dos Santos knocked out Cain Velasquez in 64 seconds
to win the UFC heavyweight title.
The company was celebrating its 18th birthday
with its first show on Fox.
Junior improved to 8-0 in the Octagon as he dethroned Velasquez,
who was making his first defense of the title he won from Brock Lesnar one year
earlier.
This was the only fight on the Fox TV show, so fans watching
UFC for the first time only saw about a minute of action. The other nine fights
aired on Facebook.
Aaron Rosa won a strange majority decision over Matt Lucas.
Two judges gave Rosa a lopsided 30-26 victory, while the other saw the fight as
a 28-28 draw.
Alex “Bruce Leeroy” Caceres won a unanimous decision over
Cole Escovedo. Mike Pierce defeated Paul Bradley by split decision.
Robbie Peralta seemingly defeated Mackens Semerzier by
TKO in Round 3. However, the decision was changed to a no-contest due to an
accidental headbutt.
Darren Uyenoyama debuted with a unanimous decision over
Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto. DaMarques Johnson beat Clay Harvison by TKO in 94
seconds.
Ricardo Lamas defeated Cub Swanson by submission to an arm
triangle choke in the second round.
Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier beat Pablo Garza with a D’Arce
choke in the second round.
