Ever since defeating Brock Lesnar, Cain Velasquez has been cursed by the MMA Gods and beset with injury. I hope we’ve learned to never again kill the golden goose (yak? buffalo? what animal is Brock?).
Maybe the pressure of four million eyeballs was too much for his knees.
But when Cain crumpled to the ground and cried out that his knee was hurt (AGAIN), it became clear. He could not overcome this alone. To break the curse, a sacrifice must be made.
