Cain Velasquez

“That’s a lie. I’m in this sport to fight the best. He’s at the top, and I’d be excited to fight him.” What if you do end up being the one to welcome the champ back to the Octagon? How would you approach the fight? “I’d fight a smart fight. He’s a big guy, so I’d try to stay away from his power. I’d use my wrestling to tire him out, and try to get him out into the later rounds. But I’m not really thinking about Lesnar…I am focused on Nogueira, and that’s all I’m thinking about right now.” Is Lesnar’s return a good thing for the sport? “I’m glad he’s back because we fighters want to fight the best, and the media and the people want to see the best fighters fight. So it’s a good thing to have him back.” - Velasquez on Lesnar, after being asked if he was scared of him.
