Cain Velasquez appreciation thread

[Lawblaw]

I believe in Cain Velasquez. I still think healthy Cain beats everyone.
The only thing about Cain is no one can know for sure if he's still in his prime, the last time we saw him he looked good but again that was almost two years ago.

I’m hoping this long layoff is exactly what he needs to get himself right. Something he never did during his career. The return of a healthy Cain would be good for the heavyweight division and would make things real interesting.

best ufc heavy ever

He's ok, but I never understood the GOAT talk...

 

[Substance Abuse]

Cain is a bad ass, but I don't think he will ever be back 100% healthy and that's a shame. Iron sharpens iron but it has also fucked up Cain's back perpetually.

I never stopped believing, healthy Velasquez is the baddest man on the planet. Just a matter of time before...

 

[kenetics]

Yes we Cain! He will regain the UFC title in 2018!

 

[Jawth]

He has beat Browne and no one else in over four years.

[The Accuser]

Cain's claim to fame mainly stems from beating Brock and having a great style to beat JDS, a guy otherwise extremely dangerous.

Outside that "healthy GOAT Cain", a creature only seen for a few moments in history, is phantasy talk.

Lotta JDS... sometimes you got a fighters number?

 

[IloveTHIS]

Yes we Cain! He will regain the UFC title in 2018!

Based on what? A win over Travis Browne and getting embarrassed by Werdum?

 

[Evenflow80]

He's GOAT all right... GOAT at wasted potential. Guy was a beast and to this day the beatings he have JDS are legendary. JDS was a scary dude too and Cain mauled him

Let's combine this with an Abraham Lincoln Appreciation Thread....he too has been out of the picture for a long long time.

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

To this day I maintain that Cain at his best beats any man that has ever competed in MMA and does so convincingly. The injuries, though...

In all seriousness, does he actually have plans to return to MMA? Any fight lined up at the moment? Anything at all in the works?

 

[One MMA Fan]

War Cain let's find out this year if he still can get that belt, I hope so.

[Baba Ghanoush]

Is he still doing leg extensions like a coked up kangaroo or some shit?
