Apparently Dana made this official today for UFC 160
UFC President Dana White was in Ireland on Tuesday, speaking at Trinity College in a Q&A format. While there, he let news out of a couple of major fights coming to UFC 160 this May.
According to @SeanSheehanBA on Twitter, in attendance at White's speaking engagement today, White confirmed rumors that Cain Velasquez will face Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva for a second time in the night's main event, and Junior dos Santos will fight Alistair Overeem in the night's co-main event.
Velasquez and Silva fought last May at UFC 146, with Velasquez demolishing him in the first round with a vicious ground and pound attack. But Silva bounced back in a big way in his last two fights, knocking out Travis Browne and Overeem in succession.
The JDS-Overeem bout has been brewing for some time, and many expected it to come as the title fight this summer. However, dos Santos was defeated by Velasquez in their rematch, and with Overeem getting knocked out by Bigfoot, they'll square off in a three round fight instead.
