Despite the fact that Velasquez will have been out of the cage for just over a year and returning from surgery, “Cigano” expects Velasquez will be at his best come fight night. He’ll need to, because dos Santos intends to do the same, and leave Anaheim as the new UFC heavyweight champion.
“Cain is a tremendous athlete, and a great fighter. I doubt he’s been twiddling his thumbs the whole past year. He strikes me as a guy who probably made his way back to training as soon as he was cleared, and there is no question he will be as ready as me on November 12. He’s a professional fighter with a huge opportunity in front of him, just like me. I have no doubt he will be giving his best, as I will be giving my best.
“I will be fighting the #1 UFC heavyweight title-holder; I assume he will be bringing his A game, and I will be there with my A game to get my belt.”
