Every now and then someone comes along who looks promising. I mean, Jon Jones was pro for like 4 months before the UFC signed him.
Everyone got bent out of shape about his "brown pride" tattoo. It wasn't a Mexican thing, it was celebrating that luscious head of hair.Package deal with teh Master
2 huge reasons.His record was 2-0 against a couple of unknown guys and the UFC took him in.
I'm glad they did because 2006-2013 Cain was one of the greatest HWs to ever fight. Just curious if anyone knows what the UFC saw in Cain after only two fights ?
Different times, UFC was even deader back then compared to modern dead UFC. They were looking for fighters in homeless shelters and gay bars
After high school, he attended Iowa Central Community College, wrestling for one season (2001–02) and winning the NJCAA National Championship in the heavyweight (285 lb limit) division.[16] Afterwards, Velasquez transferred to Arizona State University. He wrestled for the Sun Devils for three seasons and compiled a record of 86–17, placing 5th in the country in 2005, and 4th in 2006.
I don't know about that, I never saw talent scouts in the places I frequented back then.
He was a legit NCAA wrestler with 2 dominating wins and one of the best camps in MMA(AKA) touting his as a thee future HW world champion. Nuff’ said.His record was 2-0 against a couple of unknown guys and the UFC took him in.
