It's unlikely that heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos will defend his title Sept. 22 in Toronto against former beltholder Cain Velasquez, UFC president Dana White said Saturday night during a postfight interview on Fuel TV.

"That fight will happen. I don't know when and I don't know where," White said shortly after UFC 147 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. "It's going to depend on Junior.

"They're probably not going to fight in Toronto."

White did not specify a reason why the fight, which was slated for UFC 152, will likely take place at another event.
