While Velasquez was in attendance, he sent out a tweet, noting that he woulą·“d love to take another belt from the current WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar; who Velasquez defeated by knockout at UFC 121 in 2010. Daniel Cormier, whź§…o is good friends with Cain, would jokingly go over the tweet that was sentĀ to Brock Lesnar.

"If Cain ever decidedĀ to go into WWE, Iā€™m sure heā€™d be very successful. Umm,Ā I donā€™t know, I donā€™t why Brock Lesnar would ever fight Cain Velasquez againĀ after the way the first fight went, but you know, people have done crazier things. He [Cain] was just having a good time man. You know, heā€™s very complementary of BrockĀ Lesnar. He enjoyed the show, it was the first time heā€™d ever been, so he was really just kind of feeling the energy, feeling the excitement and he tweeted that. Cainā€™s a fun guy man, I wish people could getĀ to see him in his element more often because heā€™s a really really good guy."

On a more serious note, Cain Velasquez has not competed in the octagon in nearly two years. His last fight was at UFC 200 during the summer of 2016. Cormier stated that he has been lobbying to get Velasquez on a card. Its just a matter ofĀ finding an opponent šŸ’¦who iš“‚ƒs willing to go.

"Heā€™ll be back soon. We are fighting right now to get him on the same card as me and Stipe Miocic." He continued,Ā "If that can happen, I think it adds star power, it just makes a big card even bigger and heā€™s training, preparing himself, heā€™s mentally ready to go. Its just a matter of finding him an opponentĀ that works and getting him a fight."

Former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, Ronda Rousey, signed her RAW contract last week at the 'Elimination ChambšŸ§œer' PPV. Daniel Cormier, who was backstage at the event, stated that it was good to see Rousey do hešŸ§ør thing in the squared circle, but the most enjoyable part of it all was to see how happy Ronda appeared to be backstage witšŸ’Æh her new WWE family.

"You know man, Ronda was a pioneer for women and fighting in the UFC. And she did a good job with the WWE with the spot, but, what made me happier was when we went to the back and we got to see Ronda and just see how much she was smiling, how happy she is to be doing something that sheā€™s wanted to do since she was a young kid. So, as her friend, it was excitingĀ to see her in a good spot in her life."
