Inside Junior Dos Santos' UFC 131 Victory

After seven consecutive wins to begin his Ultimate Fighting Championship career, Junior dos Santos finally has his chance.

After an impressive decision win over Shane Carwin at UFC 131, dos Santos will face Cain Velasquez in the not-too-distant future for the heavyweight

?championship.

He has beaten some of the best on his way to the title shot, including Fabricio Werdum, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, and now, Carwin.

The victory for dos Santos (13-1, 7-0 UFC) was nothing short of impressive, as he dominated Carwin (12-2, 4-2 UFC) from start to finish. Though Carwin seemed to have improved his cardio, he was no match for dos Santos, who began to wear Carwin down at the end of round one.

After a relatively tepid beginning, Carwin attempted a single leg takedown at the 3:05 mark of the first round, but dos Santos got back up quickly. It may have been the first sign for Carwin that things were not going to go his way on the night.

By the end of the first round, dos Santos was landing some jabs, taking Carwin down at the 4:15 mark. The round ended with dos Santos pounding Carwin, a result reminiscent of Carwin's pounding of fellow heavyweight Frank Mir at UFC 111, which gave Carwin the interim heavyweight belt.

This time around, Carwin was on the receiving end of the beatdown from the now 13-1 dos Santos. Referee Herb Dean had an opportunity to stop the fight as a bloodied Carwin took the beatdown from dos Santos, but give Dean credit for letting the fight continue. UFC President Dana White also praised Dean for allowing the fight to carry on.

Dos Santos began round two with a rare head kick in the early stage of the round, something we have not seen from the boxing expert much in his UFC lifetime. Indeed, the kicks are something that White said dos Santos will have to work on.

"You know what I think?" said White, at the postfight news conference. "I think he's going to have to get a lot more well-rounded. He said he's going to work on his boxing. Dude, you better start working on your kicks and your punches."
