↵“It’s going to be a tough fight. Minotauro is one of the best. He is always hard and you can never underestimate him. Even while he is losing, always finds a way to invert the situation and finish the bout. I have too much respect for him. I watched The Ultimate Fighter in which he was one of the coaches and I respect him as a person and for the legend he is in this sport.”
Cain Velasquez On Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
↵↵- Cain Velasquez on his upcoming fight with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
↵The fight remains deeply interesting to me. Cain has shown that he doesn’t pack a ton of power in his fists while Nogueira has one of the greatest chins of all time. Cain has shown to be vulnerable to getting hit on his feet while Nogueira’s boxing is constantly getting better. And Cain has great wrestling which he employs with a relentless style of takedowns while Nogueira has the greatest submission game of any heavyweight in the history of the sport.
↵It’s a tough test for the young Velasquez and one I can’t wait to see him attempt to pass.
