I was told Velasquez hurt his back days ago but tried to fight through it. Resorted to just doing cardio last few days.

Seriously, Cain’s career is one of so much potential derailed by injury. Sad.

Seriously? Velasquez is out less than two weeks before the fight with Werdum? Unreal how snakebitten he is.

— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) January 24, 2016

I'm a huge Werdum fan but i got my boy @stipemiocicufc on this one!! I just hope he stayed ready for the call!?

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) January 25, 2016

Holy shit, Broncos win then I see @stipemiocicufc is in for Cain for @ufc heavyweight title!

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) January 24, 2016

Heavyweight MMA fighters are known for their longevity as many compete past mid-30s. With Velasquez's injuries, open Q if he'll be able to.

Wish I could help you prepare. Do you and get yours, bud https://t.co/QulEN6C5x7

Spoke to Miocic. Said he was back in gym 2 days after Arlovski KO. Admitted, yeah, with Cain's injury history, he knew this was possibility.
