#4 Junior Dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez III
The whole world was in stunned silence when Junior Dos Santos clubbed Cain Velasquez to sleep in a minute and seized the UFC Heavyweight title in November 2011. Both dragged injuries entering the fight, but Cain was the worse for wear.
After beating Antonio Silva in a bloodbath, Cain dominated JDS to recapture the title in 2012. Santos earned himself a rematch in 2013, where he was less gun-shy and started the fight battering and dropping Cain in the first round.
