MONTREAL - UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez may best be known for his wrestling pedigree, but he doesn't consider himself a grappling-first kind of fighter.
In fact, with a title defense against the striking-savvy Junior Dos Santos on the horizon, Velasquez said he's ready to test himself standing against the Brazilian bruiser.
"I want to mix it up with him," Velasquez said. "If the takedown is there, I'll take it, but I definitely want to mix it up with him."
