For the better part of a decade, you couldn’t bring up the heavyweight division without talking about Cain Velasquez. His combination of speed, cardio and power made him a monster among beasts, and he was twice able to capture the heavyweight belt.
After his second reign as champion ended with his loss to Fabricio Werdum in June 2015, Velasquez bounced back to take out Travis Browne in the first round at UFC 200 one year later. A mixture of injuries prevented another attempt at a rematch with Werdum, and now, almost three years later, Velasquez makes his return to the Octagon.
