[ads1]The UFC 160 event that’s set for May 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, is ready to rock and roll just three weeks out from the event.
The UFC heavyweight title fight between champion Cain Velasquez and challenger Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva will be the main event.
The co-main event will feature a heavyweight match between former champion Junior dos Santos and Mark Hunt. Dos Santos was originally scheduled to face Alistair Overeem, but Overeem withdrew from the fight with an injury.
The preliminary fights are expected to air on FX and Facebook.
The main event will be a rematch from UFC 146 which saw Velasquez pummel Silva to win via first round TKO. Velasquez was able to take Silva down almost immediately and opened a huge cut that virtually blinded Silva while Velasquez reigned down punches and elbows. Silva will be out to prove that the fight was a fluke win much like Velasquez did the second time he fought Junior dos Santos.
