Cain Velasquez knows that Junior dos Santos is the first challenger heading his direction, but when recently asked about his ideal matchup, the UFC kingpin crossed promotional lines.
“For me, I think Fedor,” Velasquez said during question-and-answer session with fans last week. “I’ve always watched him as a fighter. I’ve always looked up to him. His overall size compared to the other guys, it seems he’s always mismatched, but he always has a lot of power, he has good technique on the ground, so I would definitely love to fight him. I’m in this sport to fight the best. I want to fight the best guys in the UFC and the best guys everywhere else.”
He’s still missing a nickname, but when asked if he was now considered the baddest man on the planet after beating Lesnar, he smiled and turned down the offer.
“I don’t consider myself the baddest man on the planet,” he said. “That was Brock’s name. We’ll keep it with him.”
