Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez might be in the early stages of a promising pro wrestling career, but returning to the Octagon is always on his mind.
Velasquez, who last competed in MMA in January when he lost to Francis Ngnanou, recently crossed over to pro wrestling. He made his debut at TripleMania, a major show for the Mexico-based Lucha Libre AAA promotion, last month in Mexico City.
Velasquez is set to make his U.S. debut on Sunday at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theatre in New York City. He will also wrestle Oct. 13 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
