When Cain Velasquez made the decision to put his mixed martial arts career behind him to sign a multi-year deal with WWE, one of the first calls he made was to UFC president Dana White.
Of course, Velasquez needed to let the promotion know that he was retiring but he also wanted to speak to White about leaving the UFC to pursue a new endeavor with WWE. Velasquez relayed that his conversation with White couldn’t have gone any better as his now former boss at the UFC offered him nothing but congratulations on his new career.
