While there are always a number of storylines that emerge from every
major UFC event, Saturday night’s UFC 110 card left one undeniable
fact: Cain Velasquez has arrived.
Velasquez’s impressive first-round knockout of MMA legend Antonio
Rodrigo Nogueira in the main event of UFC 110 certainly signaled a
changing of the guard in the UFC’s current heavyweight title picture.
But this week’s winner, Ralph “RJCT” Purificato, believes not only did
UFC 110 mark a passing of the torch to Velasquez, but it also may have
been a glimpse into the very near future as MMA’s first wave of
superstars step aside in favor of a budding crop of future champions.
