Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez rebounded from his title loss in style in the co-main event of UFC 146 tonight, completely dominating former Strikeforce fighter Antonio Silva and stopping him via TKO in one of the bloodier fights in recent UFC history. Cain has possibly set himself up for a rematch with current champion Junior dos Santos, who defeated him at the inaugural UFC on Fox show last November.
