Cain Velasquez

Cain Velasquez holds a professional record of 14-3, standing 6'1" with a 77-inch reach and fighting out of an Orthodox stance. The heavyweight showcased a balanced offensive and defensive skill set throughout his career, averaging 6.37 strikes landed per minute with 57% accuracy while maintaining solid 57% striking defense.

Velasquez was a consistent threat on the mat, averaging 5.13 takedowns per 15 minutes at 45% accuracy, complemented by exceptional 85% takedown defense that made him difficult to control. His notable recent victories include a dominant first-round knockout of Brock Lesnar in October 2010 at 4:12, followed by a fifth-round TKO over Junior Dos Santos in October 2013, demonstrating his ability to finish fights decisively.
