"Realist" Cain Velasquez Knew He Wouldn't Stay Undefeated Forever
“I’m a realist. I knew I wasn’t going to go through my career undefeated. That’s how this sport is. People lose. Even the best guys lose. I knew as soon as it was over, I had to pick myself back up and keep going forward. I do have some extra motivation now, for sure, but I wish that for that night things had gone differently and that the fans had gotten the fight they came to see. Ultimately, I let myself down. I don’t ever want that to happen, and not for Fox or anything else. I want to go out there and win. Stuff happens. I get that, but I definitely wasn’t happy with my performance. What it comes down to it, I don’t want to be in that position again.”

Dats wats up!
Cain’s **** jammed straight in my ass…now DATS wats up homie.
And a donkey punch!
He will come back and murder everyone. I like he doesnt make excuses even though he had the shoulder surgery that make him rest for a year.
prolly not a promising fact vs Mir…….
Mir is a douche, he doesnt stand a chance
I wouldn’t mind seeing Cain and JDS go at it again.
Shit happens. Cain is one of my favorites and JDS is such a good guy it doesn’t even bother me he won. I think the rematch WILL be better and I think it’s a fight Cain can just as easily win as JDS. Both are stand up guys.
he is not the same fighter anymore i think at the pressconference he looked different to me. i dont know but i think there is something going on in his personal life, i think he lost a little bit focus, he isnt the animal anymore, or maybe he just was very very very tired i dont know.
but 1 thing 4 sure, he is a mofo and he would beat up any men on this planet if he is really 100%. a 100% cain vs a 100% cigano my money would be on cain. even i like cigano a lot!!!
Hope youre wrong pal.But come on! hes lost once! after 1 year out against a very powerfull ****er, plus he got caught, its not like he got a beating
I like Cain but he’s not beating Cigano. I’m glad he’s learned from his loss and realizes that he is beatable. That means he’s still hungry.
now go back to mehico where you belong
now go back to drinking pabst and molesting your daughter in your overalls.
touche’
+100000000000000000000000000
He’s lost once!
I believe that ghosts really exist
Cains a bum, shouldve been dropped from ufc like werdum was
