Yuma, AZ newspaper profile of Cain Velasquez
By Jim Murphy July 13th, 2008Cain Velasquez, pegged by many to be the next heavyweight superstar, is profiled in the Yuma, AZ newspaper:
When Cain Velasquez takes on Jake O’Brien in a nationally televised Ultimate Fighting Championship bout Saturday (July 19), he’ll be taking a step toward his ultimate goal.
A win against O’Brien (10-1) will move the former Kofa and Arizona State wrestling standout closer to where he wants to be - UFC heavyweight champion.
Velasquez (3-0) won his only other UFC fight, an April contest against Brad Morris at UFC 83. All of Velasquez’s wins have come in the first round on TKOs.
“It feels like all my hard work is paying off,” Velasquez said. “I feel like I’m not there yet, but a win will certainly get me closer to where I want to be.”
