For a workout junkie such as UFC heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez, recovery is going to be a long and difficult process.

That’s what his trainer, Javier Mendez, thinks about the rotator-cuff injury that, best case, could keep Velasquez on the shelf until August, and worst case, until December.

But Velasquez isn’t waiting around, Mendez today told MMAjunkie.com. He’s already back in the gym, and he’ll begin physical therapy this week.
