Junior dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez staredown pic from UFC 155 pre-fight press conference

Take a look at the UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos as he stares down the man he took that very title from, Cain Velasquez, at today's (Dec. 27, 2012) UFC 155 pre-fight press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Talk about a timid affair.

Today's (Dec. 27, 2012) UFC 155 pre-fight press conference, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, can best be described that way after Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos and number one contender Cain Velasquez fielded questions from reporters.

No juicy nuggets, no great sound bites, no memorable quotes. Just the normal pre-fight fluff and a podium giving way to a staredown, itself rather tame.

They usually are and that's always fine, especially in this case. Sure, the first fight saw a definitive finish when "Cigano" knocked the Cain Train off the rails in just 64 seconds back at UFC on Fox 1 late last year, but these are easily the two most talented heavyweights in the world and they're being given another five rounds to see if that first finish was a fluke.

I don't care who you are, it's going to be a good time. Velasquez looks ready for it, too:
