Dos Santos' jiu-jitsu coach, Yuri Carlton, told Tatame.com (via Fighters Only) recently that due to Velasquez's broken hand, the heavyweight title rematch will probably happen in December. However, Javier Mendez, Velasquez's head coach at the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, Calif., told MMAFighting.com on Wednesday that Velasquez's hand is 100 percent healthy and he is already training for the rematch.

"We're looking at Sept. 22 as fight day," Mendez said


Mendez hypothesized that Carlton misread the post-UFC 146 medical suspension list, which stated that if Velasquez's left hand was broken, he would be medically suspended until Nov. 20. Fortunately, x-rays later showed that Velasquez didn't break his hand in his win over Antonio Silva on May 26.

Seems like the fight is basically confirmed for 152, this main eventing and Penn-MacDonald co-main eventing? :mark:

This fight better not get any kind of delay and happen at UFC 152. I wanna see this fight. I wanna see this fight. Don't break down. No more broken hands darn it.
