LAS VEGAS – The rubber match between UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and former champ Junior dos Santos might wind up being the final time the two meet. Velasquez (12-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and dos Santos (16-2 MMA, 10-1 UFC) will meet Oct. 19 at UFC 166 in Houston, UFC President Dana White on Monday confirmed to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). And White said a decisive Velasquez win could effectively signal the end of rivalry. “I think if Cain wins the fight as impressively as he did the last one, it would be tough to do that fight again,” White told MMAjunkie.com. “That fight happened just to f— up our FOX (debut).” But White did say a dos Santos win would open the door for the rivalry to head to a fourth meeting. The two heavyweights first met at UFC on FOX 1 in November 2011.
