Cain Velasquez: I’ve Been Ready for Brock Lesnar for a While
by Michael David Smith

Filed under: UFC, FanHouse Exclusive, News

It’s a good time to be Cain Velasquez.

A 27-year-old UFC heavyweight, Velasquez just won the biggest fight of his career by beating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 110 in Sydney, Australia, bringing him a big step closer to a potential heavyweight title fight against Brock Lesnar. And before he flew back to the United States, Velasquez took a short vacation where he proposed to his girlfriend during a stroll on the beach (she said yes).

Now Velasquez is back at his gym, the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, and in an interview with MMA Fighting, he said he thinks he’s ready for that shot at Lesnar right now — but if he doesn’t get it yet, he’ll also be happy to fight anyone else the UFC puts in front of him. The full interview is below.
