Could there be a future in the ring for Cain?
This past Wednesday former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez was present at the NXT TV tapings in Florida at Full Sail Uꦍniversity. Cain was recorded on camera during a portion of the tapings as well.
It was then unveiled by WWE the following day that Cain partook in workouts at the WWE Performan💛ce Center where he learned under the trainers and worked with talent aౠt the P.C.. and stated that it was amazing and he was looking forward to learning and being there as much as♔ he can.
“My experience here has been amazing,” he said. “I’m just looking forward to being here and learning as much as I can. I’ve been a fan of the sport since I was a little kid, and now I get to participate in it.”
With that being said, Cain has not competed in the octagon in over two years and his last fight was during the summer of 2016 at UFC 200 where he defeated Travis Browne. Over the number of months Velasquez has openly stated that he hopes to retur♛n to the octagon this year but𒁃 that has yet ﷽to happen with five months left in the year.
Yesterday, ESPN's MMA repo𒐪rter and journalist Ariel Helwani commented on the Per♋formance Center's Twitter page sending out a tweet that they were honored to have Cain in attendance. Helwani noted that he was told that Velasquez is open to options with WWE but his camp would not comment on his current contract status with UFC.
