Cain Velasquez had earlier said that he wants to make a transition to pro wrestling and last year he was present at WWE Wrestle Mania in Orlando. He told WWE.com last July, “I’ve been a fan of the sport since I was a little kid, and now I get to participate in it,”
Velasquez last fought against Francis Ngannou after a three-year layoff where he got knocked out in just 26-seconds.
