Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez officially retired from mixed martial arts earlier this month after the UFC agreed to terminate his contract with the promotion so he could take up a lucrative offer from the WWE.

Velasquez becomes the second UFC champion after Ronda Rousey to officially move from MMA to professional wrestling and will be hoping he can replicate her success after she took the WWE by storm.
