UFC 188: Video Highlights from Velasquez vs. Werdum, Melendez vs. Alvarez

UFC 188 raided Mexico City with an action-packed and star-stacked fight card that delivered on every level.

At the top of the card, UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez made his much anticipated return to the UFC Octagon against interim heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum.

Velasquez missed significant time due to injury, last competing at UFC 166 in October 2013, where he defended his heavyweight title for the second time.

At UFC 188, Werdum crushed any hopes of a third title defense for Velasquez, submitting the American Kickboxing Academy product with a guillotine choke midway through Round 3 of their main event spotlight.
