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.

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.
