I know that highlight videos on Youtube can edit a fighter out of context. But as long both fighters are being observed, you can try to find out who is the better fighter.
I downloaded both videos on my computer and played both videos at the same time on two different video players so I can compare fighters easier.
Here are the two highlight videos I found on Youtube. I recommend using the mute button so you can focus on the fights instead of the music. The videos have different speed rates, don't be fooled by the fast up and slow downs. Both fighters are equally fast.
Both Dos Santos and Velasquez have very fast striking and strong uppercuts that overwhelms opponents.
Velasquez has the edge of using leg kicks and takedowns. Dos Santos does not.
Dos Santos has the edge of having heavier hands. Velasquez doesn't hit as hard.
If you watch carefully, you notice that Velasquez's opponents are not as hurt than Dos Santos' opponents when being hit in the face. Dos Santos' opponents drop to the ground faster than Velasquez's opponents.
If this fights ends in a Knockout, I say Dos Santos will most likely do this because of his heavy hands.
But if this fight ends in a decision, I say Velasquez will most likely do this because of his take downs and leg kicks.
Dos Santos trains with great fighters like the Nog brothers, Mark Munoz and Anderson Silva. Velasquez trains at AKA.
I think the slight edge goes to Dos Santos.
