Dos Santos (15-2) said he was injury free before and after the fight, adding, I got my face swollen a lot, but I didn't get injured. I was feeling OK."

"Cigano" once again stated his desire to face Velasquez in a rematch. Velasquez was given a second shot at dos Santos after defeating Antonio Silva early in 2012.

"I think the fans would love to see this rematch right now," dos Santos said. "I would love to have this rematch right now. I don't know if it's possible, or if Cain Velasquez is going to accept it, but I would love it."

UFC president Dana White stated after the bout that the winner of Alistair Overeem and Silva would be declared the No. 1 contender. The two heavyweights meet in February at UFC 156: Aldo Vs. Edgar.
