Cain Velasquez Excited to Face Strikeforce Heavyweights

Written on May 11, 2011 by Markham Mencken

Cain Velasquez talks about his torn shoulder, his potential bout against Strikeforce's stable of heavyweights, and his possible rematch against Brock Lesnar.

UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez, brought himself at the top after snatching the title from Brock Lesnar last October. However, his biggest victory came without a cost, as he acquired a shoulder injury during the match. This brings him and his new belt on the sideline, while recuperating from surgery. If all goes well, Cain Velasquez is likely to make a comeback sometime in the fall. More over, he might headline the UFC Houston event, facing either Brock Lesnar or Junior Dos Santos.

As part of the Super 7 Q&A session in Toronto last month, Cain Velasquez addressed his injury, his likelihood to match-up against Strikeforce’s heavyweight fighters, and his feelings about a possible rematch against Brock Lesnar.
