Cain Velasquez talks Brock Lesnar: "Yes. I'm ready. I think I've been ready for a while. The way...

"Yes. I'm ready. I think I've been ready for a while. The way this sport works is you've just got to prove yourself when you get the chance. I want to fight the best so I can be the best."

"I think I'd have to wear him out for the first two or three rounds, because he's so big and strong. I'd need to be weary of him at the beginning."

"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him a year ago. I pulled it out of him and I beat him over the head with it." Brock Lesnar

That gif should be in every Cain Velazquez post, it’s so delightful

Equated to early Mike Tyson

In some ways yes. I don’t see much stopping Valasquez. I would be more interested seeing him fight Dos Santos personally even if it wasn’t for a title

yeah id rather pay to see cain throw hands with dos santos, then fight brock

Still needs to have a submission loss to Frank Mir to prove he is truly ready for a title shot. :-)

Correction, meant respectfully.....

…. ‘weary’ means tired, I think the quote should be ‘wary’ i.e. to be careful/cautious. Common spelling mistake.

Was probably the word that Velasquez used and not a typo. In that case it should appear as (wary).

but this shouldn’t be discussed here because it was mmafighting.com’s interview.

Velasquez and Lesanr are intended to meet sooner rather than later

Velasquez has just been plowing through his opponents and improving, and Lesnar is just such a powerful guy with very good wrestling who is the champion. When you have two fighters who are looking unstoppable, they are just destined to meet.
