The former UFC heavyweight champion reflects on his loss to Fabricio Werdum and discusses his future in the sport.
Prior to facing Fabricio Werdum at UFC 188 in Mexico City, Cain Velasquez had been out of action for almost two years. As much as Velasquez is celebrated for his world-class fighting ability, the Mexican-American is also renowned for his injury troubles.
Cain was originally set to take on Werdum in 2014, but was forced withdraw after suffering a torn meniscus and sprained MCL in his right knee.
When the fight eventually took place, Werdum battered the former NCAA Division I wrestler before locking up a guillotine choke in the third round, marking the second time Velasquez had lost the heavyweight title.
