HOUSTON -- UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos will meet for the final fight in their heavyweight trilogy Saturday night in UFC 166. Ryan Howard Phillies Jersey . And whatever the outcome, Velasquez said he wont fight Dos Santos again -- at least not anytime soon. "I think it will be settled for a while," Velasquez said. "I wont say that I wont fight him in five years or so because that could be a possibility." But he does enjoy the rivalry theyve had over the last couple of years. "Its good to have an opponent like that thats always pushing you to get better," Velasquez said. Velasquez reclaimed the belt from Dos Santos with a decisive unanimous decision in UFC 155 in December. It was the first loss for Dos Santos since November 2007. Velasquez is expecting Dos Santos to take a different approach in this one. "I think his biggest adjustments will have to be his pace -- not just backing up," Velasquez said. "I think him being more aggressive. I think the only thing different he could do is to be more aggressive." Dos Santos said he made a lot of mistakes in the last fight and hes studied them to correct the problems before Saturdays bout. "The past fights are going to help me a lot because I learned from that," Dos Santos said. "I think the biggest challenge is going to be to stop him. He walks forward all the time and we have to take care of that." Dos Santos (15-3-0) took the title from Velasquez in the first meeting in November 2011 with a knockout in 64 seconds. It remains the only career loss for Velasquez, who is 12-1-0. "If you look at my UFC fights, most of them I knock them out very fast and it happened with him, too," Dos Santos said. "The second fight he showed a little bit of who he is. He put on some pressure, made me tired and won the fight. Thats what he does very well. Now were going to see which one works better, my style or his style." Velasquez is looking to guard against Dos Santos landing that one big punch because he believes thats the only way Dos Santos can win. Seven of Dos Santoss victories in the UFC have come by knockout, which is tied for second-most in heavyweight history. "I think thats the case, landing that one punch," Velasquez said when asked how Dos Santos could win. "Weve got to use our game plan to fight him. Just be aggressive and in his face all the time and just take that away from him." The Brazilian-born Dos Santos is a big fan of boxing and hopes Saturdays fight helps this trilogy live up to some of the fabled trilogies in boxing history. "I want to be one of those," he said. "Years after this fight people will be talking about us, but I want people to talk about Junior Dos Santos more." The co-main event at the Toyota Center, home the NBAs Houston Rockets, will feature former Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier against Roy Nelson in a heavyweight matchup. Cormier is undefeated and Nelson is one of six fighters in UFC history to knock out two or more opponents in less than a minute each. Also on the card is UFC lightweight contender and former Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez against former Ultimate Fighter winner Diego Sanchez.

This week they discuss Dustin Penners "pancake" injury, Foyd Mayweathers Twitter attack on Manny Pacquaio, Lionel Messi, and the Lightnings goaltending woes.The international break has come and gone, and were back with Barclays Premier League Soccer this Saturday. Three matches in and the transfer window behind us, we have a clearer indication what these are all about.   1) Chelsea (3W-0D-0L, last week: 1) - Nevermind Chelseas 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup. The Blues have proven worthy title contenders through three matches. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres have alleviated any concern about quality in attack and Victor Moses can make an immediate impact up front. John Terry and Ashley Cole are in a battle for fitness for Saturdays match with Queens Park Rangers. A nagging elbow injury to goalkeeper Petr Cech is worth monitoring. 2) Manchester City (2-1-0, last week: 2) - The 3-1 scoreline didnt tell the full story in Citys home win over QPR. City looked at their best at the Etihad, and should have added to their tally. Carlos Tevez has started as bright as any in the Premier League. New recruits Javi Garcia, Maicon, Scott Sinclair and Matija Nastasic promise to add more depth to the squad. More good news for City; striker Sergio Aguero is back in training. 3) Manchester United (2-0-1, last week: 3) - Manchester United never deserved three points in a struggle at Southampton. Robin van Persie showed his worth with a dramatic hat trick. Now, United hold their breath as van Persie and Shinji Kagawa return from the International break with injury. Sir Alex Ferguson still has concerns in the centre of the midfield and at the wing-back positions. 4) Arsenal (1-2-0, last week: 6) - The only side yet to concede in the Premier League looked an attacking force in a 2-0 win at Anfield. Santi Cazorla continues to impress, and the performance of Abou Diaby gives reason for promise. Diaby picked up a knock on International duty and is a question for Southampton. Time for Olivier Giroud to settle at the Emirates and regain his goal-scoring touch he showed regularly in Ligue 1. For the meantime, criticism of Arsene Wenger has come to a halt and a new contract for the manager looks to be in the works. 5) Swansea City (2-1-0, last week: 4) - The Swans perfect record was spoiled in a 2-2 home draw with Sunderland but of more concern is that promising young Welsh left-back Neil Taylor is done for the season, dislocating and breaking his ankle. Michael Laudrup has found a replacement in Dutch defender Dwight Tiendalli. All eyes will be on record signing Pablo Hernandez as the winger looks set to make his debut this weekend against Aston Villa. 6) West Bromwich Albion (2-1-0, last week: 8) - Seven points through three tough matches (Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton) could have never been predicted. Steve Clarkes side is proving a tough match-up. The Baggies have size all over the park.  And six different goalscorers bodes well for squad depth. It will never be pretty. But you cant argue with results. A trip to Fulham is up next. 7) Everton (2-0-1, last week: 5) - The Toffees dream start came crashing to an end with a 2-0 loss at West Brom in disappointing fashion. David Moyes problems were compounded by comments from Marouane Fellaini this week, indicating his future lay away from Goodison Park. A true test of team quality will come Monday with a visit from Newcastle. 8) Newcastle United (1-1-1, last week: 7) - A 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa was a disappointing result.  A busy week prior in the Europa League can be partially blamed. Injuries to goalkeeper Tim Krul and defender Fabricio Coloccini last week add more question marks for Mondays trip to Everton.  That being said, Hatem Ben Arfa has been a force in the midfield and the strike duo of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse are showing signs of returning to the superior form from a season ago.  9) Wigan Athletic (1-1-1, last week: 12) - Wigan are going to be a hard team to figure out over the course of the season. There will be good and bad days, but with Roberto Martinez - one of the top managers in the game - the Latics will be able to stay in more games than not. Franco Di Santo has started to score goals and the loss of Victor Moses stings, but Arouna Kone looks to be a lively replacement. 10) Sunderland (0-2-0, last week: 13) - A productive transfer window that saw Martin ONeill land midfielder Adam Johnson and striker Steven Fletcher (who scored a brace in his debut) may actually pay off. The team still doesnt have much depth, but certainly now has requisite quality in important positions to compete. ONeills direct style of play is effective as any.   11) Stoke City (0-33-0, last week: 14) - The tall and small partnership between Peter Crouch and Michael Owen threatens few but makes for a compelling storyline. Mitch Williams Jersey. A new-look midfield gives Tony Pulis even more muscle, but the team simply doesnt have much going forward. Three draws through three matches is predictable.  The next three, however (Man City, at Chelsea, Swansea), will be a a true test. 12) Tottenham Hostpur (0-2-1, last week: 9) - Is Andre Villas-Boas a good coach? Its a more-than-fair question to ask, even after just three matches. The 34-year old needs to prove something substantial beyond his promising reputation. One point through three matches is no good enough and now he has controversy on his hands, with incoming goalkeeper Hugo Lloris unhappy with the Brad Friedel still being the preferred number one. At least Moussa Dembele looked bright in his debut. 13) Fulham (1-0-2, last week: 10) - Martin Jol sells his two top players (Mousa Dembele and Clint Dempsey) and promptly gets embarrassed at West Ham. No team was hurt more in the transfer window than Fulham. Dimitar Berbatov was influential in his first 45 minutes of action with the club but the rest of the team was poor.  Fulham gets some much-needed help in the midfield with Greek captain Giorgos Karagounis joining on a free transfer but he has big shoes to fill. 14) West Ham United (2-0-1, last week: 15) - Andy Carroll was a revelation in his debut, but Hammers supporters will have to wait longer for their next taste of Carroll-mania, with the striker nursing a hamstring issue.  Although some reports indicate a shock return may be in the cards, Big Sam needs Carroll. Especially with winnable games ahead. 15) Liverpool (0-1-2, last week: 11) - Liverpool isnt in full-blown panic mode, but it certainly doesnt look good at Anfield. Brendan Rodgers preaches patience, but a club like Liverpool is expected to win, and win now.  His squad is simply not good enough. There are no ready-made goal-scorers up front and the defenders are not good enough in distribution to build from the back. Goalkeeper Pepe Reinas future at the club is something to watch after a sub-par start to his season. A high pressure, difficult away match at Sunderland Saturday is a real test to the character in the squad.  No red balloon on the field, please. 16) Southampton (0-0-3, last week: 17) - Loveable losers Southampton continue to win acclaim while breaking hearts of their supporters in the process. Two hard fought efforts against the two Manchester sides are behind them and its time to prove they can play with the rest of the table.  Adam Lallana has been a standout performer, with the 24-year-old earning a shock call-up into the England National team and Uruguayan International Gaston Ramirez is set to make his debut.  Problems in the back-four continue to plague Nigel Adkins men. But in fairness, they were exposed by the best in the Premier League. 17) Norwich City (0-2-1, last week: 20) - Back-to-back draws take the Canaries out of the bottom of our Power Rankings. Norwich is starting to look the no-nonsense team who provided a tough out in their first season back in the Premier League. Former Leeds midfielder Robert Snodgrass was a constant threat at White Heart Lane while goalkeeper John Ruddy remains one of the best in the Premier League. 18) Aston Villa (0-1-2, last week: 18) - A hard-earned point at Newcastle eases the pressure on Paul Lambert, just a little bit but the fact remains, theres too little talent outside of striker Darren Bent and Gabriel Agbonlahor. Tough times are ahead for Villa supporters. 19) Queens Park Rangers (0-1-2) last week: 19) - The busiest team in the transfer window has a lot to do to prove their shopping spree wasnt ill-fated. Midfielder Esteban Granero and goalkeeper Julio Cesar will pay immediate dividends but a shaky back-four looks to remain an Achilles heel for a team that concedes far too easily. With London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham ahead, things dont get any easier. 20) Reading (0-1-1, last week: 16) - It seems ages since Reading were robbed a result against Chelsea by an offside goal by Fernando Torres. Reading should be fresh after a postponement means they havent played a Premier League match over three weeks. No matter what kind of break, Reading will continue to find tough sledding, having not added in the transfer window.   Manchester United v Wigan Athletic airs across the TSN and TEAM Radio Networks Saturday September 15th, with coverage kicking off at 9:30am et/6:30am pt. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys from china ' ' '
