Velasquez just beat the crap out Lesnar, baby!

LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 24:  UFC fighter Cain Velasquez poses after his victory over UFC fighter Ben Rothwell (not pictured) in their Heavyweight bout at UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun at Staples Center on October 24, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.

Everybody going into UFC 121 was ranking Velasquez as the underdog, me included, even though I did want him to win. What he has shown is that he is by a long mile the best heavyweight in the whole of the MMA.

I'm a big fan of Velasquez, and even though he's not my favourite fighter (that honour has to go to Cro Cop), I was really delighted that he won. I've never liked Lesnar whether it be in the WWE or the UFC and what Cain's victory shows is that you actually need talent. You can't just be ripped and weigh 264 pounds to win and defend titles.

Lesnar did start the fight on the offensive but Velasquez soon got him under control and after Lesnar got taken down, it really was finished. Cain bust him open in seconds and about a minute later IT WAS ALL OVER!!!
