Who is cain velasquez going to fight next

I'd be down. There's something very special. The man was a former UFC heavyweight champ. He's a nice guy, represents a whole part of the world. Just a special, special human being.

But as it turned out, the Vince McMahon-led company had different plans. They wanted us to do that, and well, you know how that is. It was all thrown at me at once, a new organization and I was there for whatever anybody needed, as far as to have me build, or whatever they wanted me to build into.

That does hurt me as well, because I expect a lot out of myself. I expect more for myself. Velasquez said his previous UFC win over Lesnar did play somewhat of a factor during his time in the promotion, though he expected that and tried to rise above it.

In the Tweet, he wrote,. Muchas gracias. WWECrownJewel pic. Cain Velasquez had three appearances in the WWE, with only two of them being actual fights. He first appeared as a backup for Rey Mysterio during his feud with Brock Lesnar. There, he signed a contract to fight Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel. Cain Velasquez lost the fight to Brock Lesnar via submission, allowing Brock to win the Heavyweight championship. He next appeared in the WWE in a tag-team match.

This would be his last appearance for the promotion. WWE have officially let Cain Velasquez go. As WWE producers will soon find out, the former two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State was also never a gifted showman or self promoter inside the Octagon when handed a microphone.

But Velasquez was the most complete heavyweight UFC has ever seen with distinct advantages in wrestling and cardio that would make him a betting favorite in his absolute prime against anyone who ever stepped foot in the Octagon.

Yes, I know how bold of a statement that actually is but think about it for a second. The obvious problem is that Velasquez's prime never hung around long enough and was robbed from beginning with the crowning achievement of his career when he topped Lesnar at UFC to win the heavyweight championship while tearing the rotator cuff in his right shoulder in the process and missing the next 13 months.

From his shocking second knockout loss to Junior dos Santos in his first title defense in while hiding injuries through his second and final win over JDS in their trilogy bout, Velasquez's bad luck was a constant theme. It only got worse when a torn meniscus kept him out for an additional 19 months heading into his one-sided submission loss to Fabricio Werdum in the altitude of Mexico City in Given that heavyweights age later than any other division and that Velasquez was still just 31 when he lost the UFC title for the second time, there remained an impenetrable optimism that he would one day make a complete return and become everything he was expected to be.
