VIDEO Cain Velasquez about Brock Lesnar - pre fight interview
Without a doubt, in recent years the UFC and MMA in general has experienced a considerable increase in the size of the average heavyweight. With the division dominated by men cutting weight to make the 265 pound limit, traditional heavyweights have been forced to either bulk-up or flee to the light heavyweight division in hopes of remaining competitive. With the era of the super heavyweight indeed upon us, it seems at least one man did not get the memo.
At 6 feet 2 inches tall and 245 pounds, Cain Velasquez is considered to be one of the smaller competitors in his weight division. However, since beginning his professional career in 2006, the Mexican-American fighter has defeated all eight of the opponents put in front of him thus far and all but one by TKO.
"I don't think, you know, the weight for me is that big of a difference, because I've always dealt with it.I've always competed against guys that are a lot bigger. I'm used to it and I mean I've chosen to fight in this weight category, so you know, I have to deal with it."
Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will fight Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 in California, according to reports.
MMAfighting.com claims Dana White confirmed on Friday that Lesnar, who is 5-1 in UFC after submitting Shane Carwin in the second round at UFC 116 in Las Vegas last week, has been handed his next fight.
The event is yet to be officially announced, but is scheduled to take place on October 23 in Anaheim, California, headlined by the former WWE star and Velasquez, who has a perfect 8-0 record after knocking out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 110 in February.
