How Will Cain Velasquez Look Against Francis NGannou?


Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez faces off against Francis NGannou in the main event of UFC on ESPN 1. How will he look after a long layoff and a near retirement from the sport? I examined his fight against Travis Browne at UFC 200, Velasquez’s last fight, to see if there are any lessons to learn. Ditto for NGannou’s rematch against Curtis Blaydes and defeat to Stipe Miocic. In this video, I talk about what I see plus I discuss a video circulating on social media about Velasquez where some took too many liberties in evaluating.

  1. Love Cain. Glad to see him back. Will save all judgement and speculation and just hope for a great fight and a money making performance for my man! Happy to have him back and wish him health until retirement

  2. Cain looked great when he came back after 2 years against Travis Browne, but Cain is a little reckless & isn't as patient as Stipe. I still think Cain takes it, but I won't be surprised if he corners Ngannou against the cage & then eats an uppercut to end the fight. He ate several shots from Browne that he cant afford to take from Ngannou.

    Coming back after 2 years against someone with the touch of death is real risky. Cain easily wins the Werdum fight if he hadn't had a long layoff, but he did & got reckless. Cain gets hit a lot – especially in RD1 – and he cant afford to in this fight.

  3. Cain will be KOd and retire in rd 1. I’m sorry boys but this is the end of the great white hope

  4. People should stop with the speculation and just watch the fight. Sparring is sparring not a fight.

  5. If he's even 75% as good as he used to be, he'll run through the UFC heavyweight division

  6. I think cain destroys ngannou and usher in a new era of violence , he strong , he fast and the only way to stop me , i mean him is by knocking him out , he an amazing fighter , i would marry him – gsp totally not cain
