UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez said Monday that his surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff was successful, and he’s already working out in preparation for a return to the Octagon.
“Surgery went well,” Velasquez wrote on his verified Twitter account. “Back at Joe Grasso’s lifting legs. Best place to train.”
Joe Grasso is a San Jose-based personal trainer whose Elite Fitness gym Velasquez has credited with helping him to build the strength to deal with bigger opponents like Brock Lesnar. That Velasquez is already back to working on his leg strength there just days after surgery is a strong sign that Velasquez’s shoulder injury hasn’t done anything to his legendary drive and work ethic.
