SAN JOSE, Calif. – When Cain Velasquez seized the UFC’s heavyweight crown more than a year ago, he seized another title from Brock Lesnar that night too: “baddest man on the planet.”
Velasquez returns to the octagon for his first title defense this Saturday at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. – the site where he captured the championship – to meet No. 1 contender Junior Dos Santos.
But the hype surrounding his bout with the Brazilian boxing specialist rolls off the former Arizona Sun Devil’s back.
