In other news around Cain Velasquez, during an edition of his ever-popular and controversial podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ last year, UFC commentator Joe Rogan discussed how he believes that the former UFC Champion is the greatest Heavyweight of all time. Credit to Essentially Sports for the following.
“Because when Cain was champion, he has done some f*king great fight. I think this is a new era like the new Cain Velasquez against Junior dos Santos. That motherf*ker can move like a lightweight Ciryl Gane.
While Cain had the kind of cardio that only exists in lower weight classes. But he has it as a heavyweight.
It didn’t even make any sense. His cardio was great. When he was in his prime, here’s a thing about prime when people talk about the greatest of all time. I put Cain in that category.”
