Velazquez has achieved success in UFC becoming a former Heavyweight Champion including defeating Brock Lesnar.
Cain Velazquez already got a taste of being a Wrestling Star when he made his pro wrestling debut on August, 3rd in Mexico City at AAA’s “TripleMania”, Mexico’s biggest Wrestling promotion.
